The image displays a man standing upright, slightly angled to the side. He has a long beard and shoulder-length hair, giving his face a solemn look. He wears a draped robe cinched at the waist with a belt, holding a book in his left hand and a staff in his right hand. He stands within an ornate architectural frame with classical elements like pillars and decorative floral motifs. The background is a plain, pale surface. An inscription "S.PAVLVS" can be seen at the base of the frame, identifying the figure.
