This image shows an older man with a long white beard and curly hair under a brown hat. He’s wearing a green robe over an orange garment and holds a book in one hand while pointing with the other. The background is a plain purple-gray, and there’s a small table with an odd, flat object on it. The text below his image is in German, starting with a religious statement. It mentions his life story, including places like Galilee and Rome. If you like this style, look up Renaissance for more art from this time.
