Painting of a bearded man with long brown hair in a red robe, raising one hand in blessing and resting the other on a glass orb.

Christ as Saviour (after Anthony van Dyck)

A bearded man with shoulder-length brown hair and a faint halo of light looks directly forward. He wears a red robe and a dark mantle, raises his right hand in a blessing gesture, and rests his left hand on a glossy orb held at his side. The painted surface is warm golden-brown, with a soft, glazed oil technique and visible craquelure.
