The image depicts a person standing upright, facing forward and slightly to the side. The individual has a solemn expression, with defined facial features and light-colored hair. They wear ecclesiastical attire, including a red outer garment with wide sleeves and a white inner robe. The person wears an elaborately designed mitre with intricate patterns. They hold a bishop's crozier in one hand and a model of a church in the other. An ornate large medallion hangs around their neck, suggesting high status. The background shows rich golden ornamental patterns against a deep red backdrop.
