The image shows a man standing upright holding a large book in his hands. He appears older with a beard and unkempt hair, wearing a long robe. He also holds a set of keys in his left hand. In the background, there are smaller figures interacting and workers near a boat with a sail. The style of the image is reminiscent of an engraving with detailed linework and shading.
