The saint is shown seated in front of a small cave or rock shelter, clad in simple robes, contemplating a crucifix or religious image set on a table inside the grotto. His familiar attributes, including a lion (partially visible) and a crucifix, are present. The scene includes a rich background landscape featuring a distant harbor, ships, and a small settlement, characteristic of Flemish landscape style.
