The image depicts a man with long hair and a beard wearing a blue robe with white lines. He sits cross-legged on a rocky outcropping, with his right hand raised near his face and his left hand on a dragon. The dragon has a red mouth and claws. It faces right, with its body curved like a wave. The background is dark with white clouds or smoke and a blue-green area on the left. A tree-like object is on the upper left. The image has a beige border.
