The image shows a half-length portrait of a person seated, holding a quill in their right hand and a small sheet of paper in their left. The person has long, wavy hair, a downcast expression, and is wearing a loose-fitting robe. Behind them, there is a large bird on a ledge holding a ribbon in its beak. The background has a lined texture, with a rectangular section in the upper left corner containing the inscription "1518" preceded by a small letter "L."
