The image shows a man seated from his upper half to his knees. He is turned slightly to the left, with distinct facial features including prominent cheekbones, a well-defined jawline, and full lips. His dark, wavy hair falls onto his shoulders. He wears detailed clerical attire with a high square collar and ecclesiastical robe patterns. He holds a large book in his left hand and places his right hand on his chest. A cross necklace hangs around his neck. The background includes ornate drapery over a column.
