The image shows a man standing in front of a blackboard. He has raised arms and appears to be explaining something. The man has a fair complexion, short hair, an untucked short-sleeve shirt, a striped tie, and trousers held up by a belt. The blackboard behind him displays chalk drawings and handwritten text explaining geographical terms. Several maps are hung on the wall above the blackboard, depicting various parts of the world like North America and Oceania.
