An old man with a white beard and turban reads a scroll, in a classical painting style.

A classical oil painting of the early Church Father Tertullian in old age, shown in a three-quarter-length pose. He is reading a scroll intently, with his head slightly bowed and eyes focused. His long white beard flows over his simple brown robe, and he wears a white turban. The background is a textured golden ochre, giving a warm, contemplative atmosphere. His hands hold the scroll delicately, and the lighting emphasizes the wrinkles of age and the depth of his scholarly focus. Realistic Renaissance-style detail. See more
