He is elegantly dressed in a richly embroidered robe over a buttoned waistcoat, knee-length trousers, and stockings. He has curled hair and a slight smile. He holds a sheet of paper in his right hand, and there is a feather quill and inkpot on the table beside him. The background features a decorated wall with columns and a draped curtain.
