The image is a portrait showing the subject from the shoulders up. The person is positioned in a three-quarters view, facing slightly to the viewer's left. The individual has a relatively full face with soft, rounded features and wears wavy hair that reaches about the length of the ears. They are adorned in ecclesiastical attire, featuring a garment with a prominent white clerical collar. A notable cross pendant hangs on a chain around their neck. The background consists of a simple, dark, and finely hatched texture, and the border of the portrait is an elaborately designed oval with inscriptions.
