A bearded man in a white hooded robe holds a book, set against a gold background
A man is depicted from the chest up, facing slightly to the left with his gaze directed downward. He has a long, dark gray beard that extends to his chest and a pale complexion with subtle pink tones on his cheeks. He wears a white, hooded garment that covers his head and shoulders, with visible cracking throughout its surface. His left hand, positioned at the lower left, holds a closed, rectangular book with a dark cover. The man's right arm is not visible. Behind his head, a circular gold halo with an intricate, leafy pattern is visible against a larger gold background. The gold background also shows significant cracking and some areas where the underlying material is visible.
