The man has a high forehead, strong eyebrows, deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and a full beard. His hair is short and neatly combed back. He is wearing a formal outfit, including a large ruffled collar and a coat with fur lining. The background features an oval frame with decorative elements and sculpted figures on the sides.
