The image displays a portrait of a man from the waist up, inside an oval frame. He is facing right, with a three-quarter angle view of his profile. The man has a long, narrow face with a pronounced chin, straight nose, and expressionless expression. He has long wavy hair reaching his shoulders, and wears a formal, period-appropriate outfit with a wide collar and textured outer garment. There are inscriptions in Latin around the portrait. The background features an ornate oval including a coat of arms at the bottom, set against a patterned backdrop.
