Self-Portrait as the Apostle Paul, 1661

Painting of an elderly man in a white turban and dark brown robe, turning toward the viewer and holding a large open book whose pages catch the light. Deep brown shadows surround him against a dark background, with warm light falling across his face and the book, in oil on canvas.
