The Aged Simeon

An elderly bearded man in a white turban and brown hooded mantle holds a rolled scroll with silver finials, gazing downward. Behind him, a carved twisted stone column and dark doorway suggest a temple interior, rendered in warm earth tones with loose, textured brushwork.

Español: El anciano Simeón

Un hombre anciano de barba blanca, con turbante blanco y manto marrón con capucha, sostiene un rollo con remates plateados y mira hacia abajo. Detrás, una columna de piedra trenzada y una puerta oscura sugieren el interior de un templo, pintado con tonos tierra cálidos y pinceladas sueltas y texturizadas.
