A humble and androgynous European man standing perpendicular (facing right) to the perspective, and wearing a soft, white, and clean robe with touches of modest but elegant embroidery. His eyes are closed as he gracefully and sorrowfully cradles a ball of light lovingly against—and in level with—his forehead, while being surrounded by a semi-abstract scene that metaphorizes uncertainty and darkness. The sacred and precious ball of light he cradles is slightly bigger than his hands can fully envelop, and gently emitting a bright mix of warm and white light. The portrait overall calmly and softly captures feelings of reverence, sorrow, tenderness, and defiance in the face of a darkening night, and is completely absent of pride, performance, and pretense.
