The image shows a man in a seated or slightly turned position, facing forward. The man has a mustache and a small goatee, with wavy, shoulder-length hair parted in the middle. He wears a dark coat with a wide, white collar featuring a detailed lace pattern and a large button under the collar. The man's facial expression is calm, and his gaze is directed towards the viewer. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is plain and textured, with an elaborate inscription at the bottom containing a series of text lines in a decorative script. The text includes the name "Franciscus Plante" prominently displayed, along with additional information in smaller text.
