The image depicts two figures. One is seated and has a halo-like circle around the head. The facial features are stylized, with large eyes and a serene expression. The person wears a long robe and leans on a lectern with an open book. To the left, an angelic figure stands, facing the seated person. This figure has delicate facial features, wavy hair, and large wings. The clothing is ornate, with a high collar and voluminous sleeves, holding a lit candle. The background features architectural elements drawn in a medieval style, along with intricate framing patterns.
