Who is Man in the Field?
A lean middle-aged Canaanite traveler wears a sun-faded linen tunic beneath a short wool mantle in sand and olive hues. A simple wrapped head cloth, close dark beard, leather sandals, and a walking stick suit his modest silhouette; a small shoulder pouch marks him as a traveler across the dry fields.
