He appears as a young bearded man, with an orange tunic and a blue cloak with white hints from the way that the light falls. The elongated neck leads the viewer to focus on the face, which is highly expressive and transmits a spiritual intensity typical of his work. In his hand he carries a spear, symbolic of his martyrdom.
