The image shows an older man seated on the ground. He is supporting himself with one hand on a branch or staff while reaching out with the other hand. The man has a prominent nose, long mustache, and beard, with short hair. He is wearing detailed clothing with ornate trim, a belt, large beads around his neck, and leggings folded at the knee. In his right hand, he holds a book or plaque. Above him is a cherub with wings, muscles, and holding a cartouche labeled "1520," surrounded by clouds. The background shows a landscape with trees and a castle-like structure in the distance.
