The entire body of a bearded man is shown in this image, depicted in a floating position with arms outstretched and feet slightly apart. The man's facial features include a beard and long, wavy hair. His expression is serene, and his gaze is directed upwards. He is clothed in drapery that covers the lower half of his body, while his upper body is bare, showcasing a muscular torso. Surrounding him are various cherubic figures with wings arranged amid cloud-like formations. Above his head, a dove is depicted with outstretched wings. Below the man, a banner held by cherubic figures bears the inscription "EGO ET PATER VNVS SVMVS." The background consists of swirling clouds interspersed with more angelic figures.
