The picture shows an unusual representation. A bearded elderly man in a turban and light brown coat has a book in front of him. He is holding a dagger on which a strip has been impaled and which he points to with his right hand. His gaze goes to the top left, the expression on his face is serious. A wall made of stone blocks forms the background. The person makes a worthy impression of great spiritual authority. The face is captured with the Neapolitan painting's sense of realism. Oil on canvas , 103 x 77 cm.
