The image shows a man standing, facing forward, with his body slightly angled to the right. He holds a long staff in his right hand and a book on his left arm. The man has a bearded face with a soft, brimless hat featuring an emblem. He wears a long cloak, tunic, and a satchel across his chest, with bare feet. The cloak has intricate folds, and he carries a large circular object at his waist. The background has a wooden fence and foliage, with no other elements present.
