They have short, curly hair, possibly styled back, a straight nose, and closed lips. The person wears a sleeveless tunic, holding a shepherd's crook in one hand. Sheep and lambs are around them, and the background includes a lightly sketched landscape with trees and a flock of sheep grazing in the distance.
