What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

The image you ask about depicts a jolly man, possibly a cook, given his attire reminiscent of a tradesman''s garb from a kitchen. He wears an uncommonly large and puffy hat, much like those worn by stewards or specialists in culinary arts, known traditionally as a chef''s hat. His face is adorned with a large, curled mustache, contributing to his cheerful demeanor.He is elegantly presenting a dish on a flat platter. The dish bears resemblance to a large tart or sweet pie, topped with what might be fruits or decorative morsels. The outfit, notably his broad apron and formal bow tie, suggest he is not just any kitchen hand but a person of significant skill and importance in preparing food.His stance and expression exude pride and satisfaction in his craft, a universal symbol of a craftsman pleased with his own handiwork. This image serves as an illustration, perhaps to entertain or instruct, rendered in a simple drawn style, almost like the woodcuts you may be familiar with, but executed with modern tools that allow clarity and simplicity in lines.
