German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing in a slightly angled position, depicted from the waist up. The person has a solemn expression and is wearing an ecclesiastical hat with green jewels. They are dressed in intricate burgundy robes with blue and cream accents, including a large brooch on the chest. In one hand, they hold a chalice with a textured object on top, while the other hand supports it. They also carry an ornate staff on the left side. The background consists of blue brush strokes on an off-white backdrop, with a thin orange frame bordering the image.
