This painting shows an upper body portrait of a man with his head turned slightly to the left. The man has light skin, reddish-blond, shoulder-length hair, thin eyebrows, a long nose, and a light brown beard and mustache. He is dressed in a light pink robe with a decorative gold border around the neckline and a dark blue cloth draped over his left shoulder. He is holding a rolled scroll with both hands. There is a thin circle around his head, perhaps indicating a halo. The background of the painting is gold, inside of a decorative border in black, red, and light blue.
