Italian 16th Century (formerly Jacques Stella)

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing with one hand raised and the other hand holding a staff with a flag attached to it. The person is positioned on a slight diagonal, with one foot slightly in front of the other. The individual has a beard, long hair, and is wearing a robe with detailed drapery and decoration around the neckline. A halo surrounds the person's head with radiant rays extending outward. The background is plain with no additional objects or details, focusing solely on the figure.
