This is a drawing of a circular composition with a central bearded man seated on a rocky landscape holding a staff. He is surrounded by various animals and ornamental foliage. Four smaller circular medallions around the central figure contain winged animals: an eagle, a bull, a lion, and a human figure with scrollwork and decorative patterns. Seated figures engaged in different actions are depicted outside of these medallions, with architectural elements in the background. The drawing is detailed with intricate line work and shading.
