The image depicts a scene with multiple figures. A seated person is in the upper part of the image, dressed in flowing robes, with distinct facial features including pronounced eyebrows and a beard. They are seated on a raised platform, with one hand on a book. Beside them is a sculpted lion. Two individuals below the seated person are likely religious figures, wearing long robes and tall hats. They stand facing each other, each holding a bishop's crosier. The background above the seated person features two cherubs holding objects. The scene is set against a plain backdrop with sketched architectural details. The composition is in sepia tones with white highlights.
