In the image, the upper half of a person's body is portrayed. They are seated, turned slightly to the right with their head tilted upwards and left. Features include a large nose, long curly beard, and hair falling to the nape of the neck. The person wears loose, draped clothing resembling a robe or tunic with layered folds. The right hand holds a closed book, and the left hand is raised with extended fingers. The background is textured, depicting mountains, foliage, and clouds. At the bottom are the words "CARNIS RESVRRECTIONEM" and a decorative flourish.
