The image shows an elderly man seated on a rocky surface. His right arm is extended outward, while his left arm rests on his lap. He has long hair and a full beard. A cloth is draped around his waist. His facial features include high cheekbones and deep set eyes. His gaze is directed upwards towards a group of angelic figures surrounded by clouds. These figures have wings and are surrounded by swirling clouds. The background includes rocks, distant hills, and a cloudy sky. No jewelry or distinct objects are visible in the image.
