Bearded man in a white tunic and dark cloak, arms raised, standing barefoot among tall palm trees in a painted watercolor scene.

Saint Simon

A bearded man with long hair stands barefoot among tall palm trees, arms lifted on either side of his head. He wears a white tunic beneath a long dark cloak that spreads wide around him, set against a warm brown ground. The loose, sketched watercolor handling gives the figure a luminous, airy quality.
