The image shows a man standing upright. His head is framed with radiating lines. The man has a full beard and wavy hair, and he is cloaked in a draped garment. He holds a long staff in his right hand. The background depicts a simple outdoor setting with rocks and plants. The style of the image is reminiscent of an engraved or illustrated artwork, with inscriptions on the left side reading "S. THOMAS" and on the right side reading "ISB."
