The image shows the upper half of a man's body. He is positioned slightly turned with his right shoulder closer to the viewer, holding a sword in his right hand. The man has pronounced facial features, including a prominent nose and a finely groomed mustache that curls at the ends. His hair is short, wavy, and light-colored, complementing his neatly trimmed beard and mustache. He wears armor with a high, elaborate ruffled collar typical of the period. A large brick wall forms the background, with thick smoke or clouds swirling above.
