He has short dark hair and a beard. The two on the right are dressed in light-colored robes; one crouches and the other stands behind, with a hairstyle tied up. The background shows a tree on the right and a patterned border around the image. The color palette is predominantly shades of brown and tan, suggesting an aged appearance.
