EKPHRASIS

The Old Bearded Man, sturdy and peasantlike, looks with reflective intensity at a black bird perched above his head, grasping a large hunk of bread in its beak. The man is wearing a blue robe with a pink cape tied around his neck. He is sitting under a tree, whos trunk is very wide and shaped like a mountain. To the upper right corner of the painting a branch hangs over the man with a black raven on it. The man gazes at the bird holding his head (from the back) with his right hand for support. His left hand rests on his left leg. In the bacground to the left of the painting (to his right) their is a field with three small figures looking acroos a river which shows a scenery of trees and then mountains. In the sky is a small chariot of fire with blue skies.
