The image shows an individual standing in a landscape, facing slightly left. They are holding a staff in one hand and a bag in the other. The person has a long beard, wears a brimmed hat, and appears serious. They are dressed in flowing garments with a tunic, belted coat, and large boots. The background shows rugged terrain with trees. A goat stands to the left on a cliff. The illustration features detailed line work and a sky with cloud patterns.
