Old Russian Patriarch

The image depicts a dramatic and emotional scene set against a dark, rugged landscape, where three men are engaged in a tense moment. The man on the right, with white hair and beard, is kneeling and appears distressed, his posture suggesting turmoil or anguish. The central figure, with long dark hair and a red coat, is supported by a man on the left, who is dressed in dark clothing and wearing a cap.
