He is facing slightly to the left, with upright posture, wavy shoulder-length hair, and a prominent facial structure. He is wearing 17th-century armor with intricate rivet details and a lace ruff around his neck. The background is plain and monochromatic, creating a vignette effect that emphasizes the figure.
