The image shows a man standing with a slightly turned posture, looking off to the right. He is leaning against a tall staff with his right arm extended. He has detailed facial features, including a prominent nose and a determined expression. His hair appears styled or covered with a decorative hat with plumes. He wears a heavily detailed garment typical of the early 16th century, consisting of a jacket, shorts, and stockings. A sheath for a weapon is visible on his left side. The background features a natural setting with rocky terrains and sparse vegetation, with distant hills or mountains in the background. The bottom right corner of the image displays the date "1520" and an artist's monogram, "Isp."
