The image shows a seated figure with a muscular and partially draped body. The figure is seated on a classical-style seat with scroll-like designs on its sides. The person leans slightly forward, resting their left elbow on the arm of the chair. Their head is turned slightly to the left, with pronounced facial features including a beard and curly hair reaching their shoulders. The figure is draped in fabric covering their lower body while leaving the upper torso bare. In their right hand, they hold a long staff or scepter resting on the ground. Beside the seat, on the right side, is a sculpted depiction of a multi-headed beast resembling a lion. The background is a plain, light-colored surface with no additional details. The image is encased within a wide, beige matte border.
