In the side quest "Portrait of the Witcher as an Old Man" in *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt*, Geralt of Rivia encounters an eccentric painter named Elias in the town of Beauclair, part of the Blood and Wine expansion.
Elias is fascinated by Geralt's appearance and reputation and requests to paint his portrait, promising to capture the essence of the legendary witcher. They travel to a picturesque spot outside Beauclair where Geralt poses for the portrait, sometimes fending off monsters or other disturbances during the session.
Once Elias finishes the painting, Geralt can view and sometimes receive it as a keepsake. This quest highlights Geralt's unexpected interactions and the lighthearted moments in his otherwise perilous life, adding depth and variety to the game.
