The image shows a man from the waist up, sitting in a forward-facing position with his head slightly bowed. He has short, dark hair that is combed back neatly. His facial features are somewhat soft, with a relaxed expression. He wears a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up and light-colored pants. In his hands, he holds a circular object featuring a depiction of a cross and text. In the background, there is a neutral dark backdrop with a strip of fabric across the top, secured by visible pieces of tape.
