The image depicts Virgil by Jusepe de Ribera, a black and white drawing of a man sitting on one knee. The man has a long beard and is wearing a laurel wreath on his head. He wears a long robe that covers his body and one leg, the other leg is bent at the knee and barefoot. His right arm rests on a rock in front of him, with his hand raised to his face. A tree branch protrudes from the right side of the image. The background features a rocky surface with some grass and a tree trunk.
