This print depicts a portrait of a man showing the upper half of his body. His body is turned slightly to the left, with his gaze directed towards us. The man has pale skin and sharp facial features, a pointed beard, a long mustache, and light hair styled beneath a flat black hat with a decorative band and feather. He wears a high ruff collar around his neck above a dark, patterned garment with ornate decoration. He wears a chain with a large medallion. The background of the portrait is a plain oval framed with decorative borders and surrounded by off-white paper. Below the portrait, there is text.
