An illustration of a man standing by a window which has no glass. He is wearing a white headdress and white robe. He is using a gold telescope to look outside at the dark sky, where there are small dots of stars and constellations. There's a large globe and a bookstand on the floor by his feet, and a paper and ink pot on a small cloth covered table in the background.
