Read this on a site

I read this sentence on a site. Is it grammatical? Especially "depicted as appearing..."?

Japan early on Sunday condemned a recording purporting to announce the execution of a Japanese citizen held by Islamic State militants and demanded the immediate release of another captive depicted as appearing on the image.

Thanks

Anonymous depicted as appearing on the image. It does seem like too many words, doesn't it. 'Shown on the image' is quite sufficient and much more natural.
