The image depicts a person standing upright. The person has long, wavy hair and a beard, with sharp and expressive facial features. They are wearing a long robe with a belt at the waist and a cloak over the shoulders. The right hand is raised with the index and middle fingers pointing upwards, while the left hand holds an orb topped with a cross. The background features a landscape with hills and small human figures, including one holding a cross and others in motion. An aura or halo is depicted around the person's head.
