The image depicts an individual standing at the center. They are standing upright with their head slightly turned, gazing outward. Their expression is serene with soft features and short, wavy, light-colored hair. They wear a red robe with gold trim over a green undergarment. They have a halo above their head. They hold a sheaf of wheat. The background shows an architectural setting with a tall pale structure, two towers, and an arched doorway filled with a blue swirling pattern. Decorative patterns in green and gold adorn the borders.
