The man has pronounced facial features with a straight nose and full lips, and long, curly hair that extends past his shoulders. He is wearing a dark robe with a white collar. The oval frame is decorated with leaf and ribbon motifs, and at the bottom, a coat of arms surrounded by detailed embellishments is displayed. The background is filled with dense cross-hatching.
