The image shows a group of five individuals standing on the left side of the scene. The central figure has long hair and a beard, wearing a long robe. They are gesturing with an arm extended outward. The other individuals also have beards and are dressed in robes. One of the men wears a cape-like garment, and their feet are visible. The background has lush greenery and large trees behind the group, with a cityscape of medieval buildings, domes, and towers in the distance. A lone figure is walking in the distance. The sky above the city has minimal clouds. The caption "S. MATHIEV XVI" is inscribed at the top right corner of the image.
