St. Dionysius

Spanische Malerei 1457–1914, circa 1475/1500

The image shows the upper half of a standing figure. The person has a full beard and mustache, a calm expression, and wears a bishop's mitre adorned with gold and red decoration. They wear a richly patterned red vestment with gold trim and hold a crozier in their hands, making a blessing gesture with their right hand. They support a second head with their left hand. The figure's hair is short and brown, slightly wavy. The background is a subdued green transitioning into a golden halo effect around the figure's head, with an ornate golden frame surrounding the painting.
