The image shows an elderly man standing upright, draped in flowing robes. He has a long beard and hair, both flowing and slightly wavy. A halo surrounds his head. The man's facial expression is calm. He wears a detailed robe with one hand resting on his chest and the other holding a knife. The scene around him includes smaller figures engaged in various activities against a backdrop of classical architecture.
