About this photo
The focus is a single man, a bishop, posing for a formal portrait. He is wearing a black cassock with red trim and a silver crucifix necklace. The mood is dignified and official, with a studio portrait style. His silver hair and the prominent crucifix are visually notable. There is no readable on-screen text.
