The image shows a waist-length portrait of a person positioned in profile, turned slightly to the back as if looking over their shoulder. The person has distinct, well-defined eyebrows and a piercing gaze, with eyes looking towards the viewer. They have curly dark hair adorned with a laurel wreath. The person wears detailed clothing with a ruffled collar and a cloth draping across their shoulder. They hold a quill pen in their right hand. The background has a stippled texture forming an oval around the figure and the word "POET" inscribed at the top.
