A young bearded man with shoulder length hair wears a pensive expression while he sits astride a rock. He raises his robes, showing an open sore on his right thigh. He wears a shoulder cape with a red cross on the shoulder. Resting in his arm is a staff with a tattered white cloth at the top. He sits beside a ramshackle wooden fence, and a black and white spotted dog lies on the ground at his feet. In the distance is a city is at the foot of a mountain, and a faint shaft of light shines on the man from clouds in the sky above.
