The image depicts the upper three-quarters of a person's body. The individual is seated and leaning back against a pillow, with their head turned slightly to the side and leaning back. The person has a long, full beard and is bald, with their eyes gently closed or lowered. The person is wearing a long robe or garment that covers their entire body, with the fabric depicted in flowing lines. The individual's hands are visible, resting on or near a book placed on their lap. The background features subtle lines, perhaps suggesting a room or a wall, with a faint window or opening to the left that emits a light effect across the image. There is a signature on the bottom right edge of the image.
