Oil painting of a bearded elderly man kneeling in shadow beside a stone column, with keys on the floor and a dark cloak beside him.

Repentant St. Peter

An elderly bearded man kneels in a dim interior beside a stone column, hands clasped and head bowed, lit from the upper left. Keys lie on the floor beside a dark cloak, and a shadowy figure looms in the background of this painting with strong chiaroscuro in warm browns and golden light.

Español: San Pedro arrepentido

Un anciano barbado se arrodilla en un interior tenue junto a una columna de piedra, con las manos entrelazadas y la cabeza inclinada, iluminado desde la izquierda superior. Unas llaves yacen en el suelo junto a una capa oscura, y una figura sombría aparece al fondo de esta pintura de fuerte claroscuro en tonos cálidos marrones y luz dorada.
