The image shows a full-length figure standing upright with both feet visible, holding a palm branch in one hand and a book over three round objects in the other hand. The facial features are simple, with a neutral expression. The individual has short blond hair with a central part, wearing a long red robe with black trim. A large circular halo is depicted around their head. The background features a natural setting with green trees, shrubs, and stylized rocks and mounds of earth, framed within a red border.
