The image shows a portrait of an elderly man, showing only his head and upper chest. He is depicted in a frontal position, gazing directly at the viewer. The man has a lined forehead, pronounced cheekbones, and a long, pointed nose. He has a mustache and a short beard, with thinning hair visible under the edges of a cap. He is wearing a fur-collared garment with a collared shirt underneath. No jewelry is visible, but the collar is secured. The background features an oval frame with detailed text identifying the man as "GEORGIVS BVCHANANVS" at age 76. The outer background has a textured pattern. Text below the portrait reads "Scotia fi Vatenn hunc gelidam produxit ad arcton. Credo equidem gelidi percaluere poli."
