The image shows a portrait of a man depicted from the chest up, positioned to face slightly to the right while gazing forward, directly at the viewer. He has a round face with a slight smile and large, expressive eyes. The man has voluminous, curly hair that falls to his shoulders, framing his face. He is dressed in a formal outfit with a high lace or frilled cravat at the neck, and a dark coat. The image is set within an ornate oval frame with striped detailing, and a detailed coat of arms positioned below the oval. The background is a finely striped pattern, contrasting with the solid black within the frame.
