Only part of the photo space is taken up. On the left side there is a figure in a helmet and a breastplate, probably the goddess Athena. It includes a nun holding a wreath and a twig and points to the above book in which the putto makes a record. Behind the book there is a sun with prominent rays. The presentation surrounding the photo is to ennoble the person shown in it and emphasize his merits.
