In the image, there is a detailed line drawing of a full-length figure standing on the right side. The person is upright, holding a palm branch in their right hand and a book in their left. The person has delicate facial features, an expressionless gaze, long curly hair, and wears a crown of greenery or leaves. They are dressed in long robes that cover their entire body. Two lambs rest on the ground next to them, each with intricate woolly coat detailing. The left side of the image is mostly blank, with a textured and aged appearance.
