The image shows a portrait of a young boy facing slightly to the viewer's right. He has short, light-colored hair, delicate features, and a focused expression. He is wearing an elaborate outfit with a large ruffled collar, detailed embroidery, and a richly decorated cloak with intricate patterns and metallic threadwork. He wears decorative adornments across his shoulders. The portrait is surrounded by an ornate oval frame with Latin inscriptions indicating his identity as Philippus IV. At the bottom of the frame is a shield with heraldic symbols and Latin text. The background consists of densely engraved lines.
