The person has distinct facial features, including a prominent nose, slightly open mouth, and curly, unkempt hair. They wear a long flowing garment with draped fabrics around their feet. In the background, there is a vertically lined pattern with the word "ÆSOPVS" above the person, identifying them as Aesop. The composition is sketch-like with fine lines and shading to depict details.
