He has a prominent forehead, arched eyebrows, a mustache extending into a short, full beard, curly shoulder-length hair styled back, and is wearing an elaborate ruff around his neck. He is draped in a detailed garment, suggesting wealth or status. In the background, there is a scene of battle with smoke, figures on horseback, buildings, and a tassel near the top of the frame.
