The image features a man standing from the thighs up, with a slight leaning position and his left hand resting on his hip. His facial features are round, with a content expression, and he has a receding hairline with curly hair at the sides. He is wearing a dark, long robe with a high collar and a white clerical band around his neck. In his right hand, he holds a small book. The background showcases a village scene with buildings with steep roofs and a church steeple, drawn with sketch-like lines, suggesting a rural or small-town setting. The sky above is partly cloudy.
