Boaz and Ruth

A three-quarter-length portrait of an elderly, bearded man wearing a broad black hat and dark cloak, with a gold chain and medallion across his chest and hands clasped in front. The lighting is dramatic, with a warm, luminous face and hands set against a deep, shadow-filled background, embodying Rembrandt’s tenebrism. The color palette is earthy and restrained—browns, ochres, and blacks—with textured, painterly brushwork that creates a contemplative, intimate mood in a Baroque style.
