Medium: oil on canvas
Location: Musee des Beaux-Arts, Orleans, France

The painting depicts a middle-aged man in a brown monk's robe with a hood. The man has dark brown hair, an unshaven face and is looking to the side with a serious expression. He holds a long wooden stick in his hand, which he uses as a cane, and his other hand is resting loosely on an open book held by the corner. The overall impression is dreamy and contemplative. There is a dark background to the painting which emphasizes the figure and her clothing.

Diego Velázquez (1599-1660). Spanish Baroque painter, whose work significantly influenced the history of art. He painted mainly still lifes with figures, portraits and religious motifs. He used colour in an unusual breadth, carefully selected supporting characters in his paintings and no less carefully painted the details of interiors. An important element of his work is the atmosphere of his paintings. He painted realistically and without an idealist perversion of reality.
