The image shows a man seated from the waist up in a semi-profile position. He has wavy hair, and a face with fine features, a long nose, and a firm expression. He is wearing a dark, loose-fitting garment that is belted at the waist, with a white collar showing at the neckline. In the background, there is a large, sturdy tree with detailed bark and leafy branches, along with rolling hills, a river or road, trees, and a cloudy sky. A walking stick or staff leans against the tree beside him.
