The image features an elderly man standing with a crutch, holding an open book and gazing thoughtfully. He has a pointed nose, a contemplative expression, and a halo around his head. He has a bald head with a tuft of hair, wearing a long, flowing garment. He stands barefoot on a paved surface. In the background, a group of people is gathered in a street between buildings, one with columns.
