The image shows a full-body illustration of a seated man on a bench. He has his legs crossed, left hand on his lap, and right hand supporting his jaw. The man has a black mustache and short black hair, wearing a brown suit with a lighter brown waistcoat, pants, white shirt, and a black bow tie. Wooden benches with books and a crystal sphere are on his left and right. The scene is surrounded by an ornate border with yellow and gold tones. The background includes a turquoise blue wall and a brown tiled floor in a diamond pattern.
