Clothing represented in earthy tones with chiaroscuro effect, appearing to be a cloak or mantle, where the on the right shoulder is much higher than the on the left, forming a volume similar to a jamb. At the bottom, a clear geometric shape filled with black dots placed symmetrically across the width of the entire composition, and in a gray area as a vertical line to the upper edge behind the head of the old. Shadow effect in the eye and on the right at the neck of the figure.
