This is an image of a man shown from the chest up. The man is facing forward, with a slight tilt of his head. His facial features include a stern expression with deep-set eyes, a straight nose, and a small goatee. He wears a distinctive hat with a flat, wide top and a pointed front edge. His hair is not visible due to the headwear. The clothing consists of a dark, voluminous robe with a prominent collar, over a lighter-colored garment underneath that features a high collar. The background features a textured pattern that appears to be etched or drawn in lines. There are no visible accessories or objects being held by the man. The lower part of the image contains text identifying the man as "IOANNES IVELLVS EPISC."
