The image shows a seated elderly figure, depicted from the lower legs upward, including their head and upper body. The person is positioned with one knee raised and the other foot slightly tucked beneath, leaning slightly back against a rock or tree. They have a long, flowing beard and thick, wavy hair with two short projections at the top. The individual wears a long robe with drapery and holds a staff in their left hand, while their right hand rests on large tablets. The background features trees and rocky outcroppings, and the image is in sepia tones.
