The image depicts a full-length caricature of a person with an exaggeratedly large head standing upright, facing towards the left. Their facial features include wide-open eyes, a bulbous nose, and a slightly open mouth. The person's hair is sparse and combed back. They are wearing a long, dark, striped robe that drapes down to the ground, and they hold a book under their right arm. Their left hand is holding a whip with multiple lashes. In the background, smaller figures can be seen in chaotic movement, appearing to cower or run away. The background is a simple, unadorned setting with no distinct features.
