St. Bartholomew

A half-length portrait of an elderly man with wrinkled features and thinning hair, his right hand resting against his chin. He holds a knife in his lower left hand, and a reddish cloth drapes over his shoulder against a dark, shadowy background. Warm, low-key oil painting with strong light on the face, with a signature in the lower right corner.
