National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a bearded man seated beneath two large trees. He is positioned with one leg bent and resting on the ground, using his left hand to steady himself with a staff. His facial features include a thick beard and mustache, and his eyes appear focused. He wears a cap with two crossed keys, a halo of light radiating from his head, and a cloak tied around his shoulders. In his right hand, he holds a miniature architectural model resembling a church. The background includes rolling hills, sparse trees, a small town with castle-like structures, and a bird perched on a tree branch.
