The image shows the upper half of a man positioned facing slightly to the side, with his gaze directed at the viewer. He has a neatly trimmed goatee and mustache, along with short, slightly wavy hair. His attire includes a detailed high-collared shirt with an elaborate lace ruff and a spotted, dark-colored coat. He wears a hat with a large brim. In his hand, he holds a book resting atop the hilt of a sword, part of ornate shoulder armor. Surrounding the portrait is an oval frame with inscriptions, accompanied by cherubic figures at the top corners holding rolling scrolls. The background is intricately designed with scrollwork and text.
