The image shows a man standing upright, wearing a long, ornate robe with intricate patterns and a detailed collar. His hair is curly, and he has a full beard and mustache. The man is holding a scroll in his left hand with the letters "A + B = C" written on it and gesturing towards his chest with his right hand. The background is plain with an arch shape framing it. At the bottom of the image, there is a decorative coat of arms, and the name "François Viète" is inscribed below. A spherical object is visible on the ground to his left.
