The image depicts a drawing of a man with long hair and a beard wearing a robe, standing on a rock or hill. The man is positioned centrally, looking up and to the right. His right arm is raised with the index finger pointing up, while his left hand holds a sphere with a cross on top. The man appears to be surrounded by a halo of lines radiating from behind his head. He stands on a rounded hill or rock that is drawn with hatching lines. Several trees and foliage are drawn on either side of the hill. Above the man's head, several cherubs or putti are flying among clouds on either side. The background of the drawing is a light-brown color with darker spots and stains throughout. The drawing style is detailed and realistic with heavy use of lines and shading. The overall composition is vertically oriented.
