The image depicts the upper half of a man's body in a drawing. The man is in a three-quarter view, facing slightly to the right. His facial features are bold, with an aquiline nose, deeply set eyes, pronounced cheekbones, and a well-defined chin. He has curly hair, a large mustache, and a beard. He wears an elaborate helmet with a plume, armored garment, and ornate shoulder protection with a lion's head. The background consists of parallel lines, and the drawing is done in a classic style, focusing on form and shading.
