The image shows a man seated within an elaborate frame shaped like a stone archway. He is facing the viewer with a composed expression. The man has an oval-shaped face, straight nose, prominent cheekbones, and long, curly hair. He wears an opulent robe with a broad, embroidered collar over a lacy white garment. Draped fabric and a pillar are visible behind him within the frame. An inscription with his name and titles is at the bottom of the frame.
