The image depicts a seated man shown from head to toe. He is positioned in a thoughtful manner, holding a square object with a compass in his right hand, pointing towards a small framed figure on a wall. The man has distinct facial features with a strong nose, a full beard, and wavy hair mostly covered by a beret-style cap. He is garbed in flowing robes with layered fabric. A cow sits at his feet. He is surrounded by various items, including a large, jug-like container and another object. A text panel with Latin script is on the wall. The background features wooden structures and a shelf.
