The image shows a man from the waist up, facing forward with his body slightly turned to one side. He has a full beard and mustache, deep-set eyes, and a steady gaze. He wears a turban with decorative elements and a feather, a textured robe with intricate button fastenings, and another draped fabric over his shoulder. His left hand holds a staff, while his right hand rests over his front. The background is plain and textured, with inscriptions in the top left corner and at the bottom of the image.
