This painting shows a man sitting on a stone pedestal, wearing a long robe. He has curly hair and is looking to his right. His left arm is bent, and his right arm is extended downward. The pedestal has the word "ESAIAS" carved into it. Behind the man are two columns with statues of nude women on top. The man's robe is draped over his shoulder, and he appears to be in a contemplative mood. The background of the painting is a light color, which helps to highlight the figure of the man.
