The image shows a man from the waist up, positioned slightly turned to his left while looking directly at the viewer. He has shoulder-length, wavy hair, a high forehead, arched eyebrows, and a straight nose. He is dressed in a historical garment with a dark robe and a white collar. There is no visible jewelry, and he is not holding any objects. The portrait is surrounded by an oval frame with an engraved inscription, and at the bottom is a crest with a decorative design. The background features a detailed textured pattern.
