The image depicts a figure standing with long hair flowing over their shoulders. The person has closed eyes and a serene facial expression. They are clothed in a long robe, and holding a thurible in one hand with smoke rising from it. Faint outlines of wings surround the figure, and the background has textured light and dark shading.
