The image shows a full-length figure of a man standing. He is slightly turned to the side, looking at a book he holds open in one hand. The man has a nose, a beard, and curly hair. He wears a long robe and fabric footwear, with a halo around his head. The background is neutral and the setting appears to be indoors with a textured tiled surface.
