This print shows a man in full-length side profile, facing the left. He is standing with one hand resting on a ledge and the other hand holding a book close to his face. The man has long wavy hair and a full beard. He is dressed in a long robe that covers him entirely, reaching down to his bare feet. He stands on a mound-like surface. The background is plain. The print is on off-white paper.
