The image depicts a bust of a man shown from the chest up in a classic three-quarter view. He has a serious expression, with a high forehead, deep-set eyes, prominent cheekbones, and is wearing a hooded robe. He is holding a quill pen in his right hand, poised over an open book with Latin text. Books are visible on a shelf in the background. The scene is framed by an ornate oval border with floral ornaments and decorative scrolls, and Latin inscriptions provide context around the frame.
