The image depicts a man standing upright. His head is turned slightly to the left, with a furrowed brow and a solemn expression. The man has curly hair with no distinct hairline, and is dressed in a long robe. He holds an open book in his left hand and a staff in his right hand. He is barefoot, with his toes visible at the bottom of his robe. A halo encircles his head. The background is plain, with some foliage near his feet.
