The image shows a person standing, leaning against a tall staff with one arm resting on it. The person appears to be slightly hunched forward, and has a long, shaggy beard, long hair peeking out from under a hat with a rounded top, and is dressed in draped, flowing garments including a cloak or mantle, a tunic, and pants gathered at the ankles. Their feet are bare. The architectural setting has linear patterns and shading indicating walls and recesses, and the ground appears textured with simple vegetation. There is a small plaque in the bottom right corner with the text "L. Suavius Inv. etor" and above the figure, a portion of a window or architectural feature is visible.
