The image shows a man from the waist up, with his body slightly turned to the right and his head looking back over his left shoulder towards the viewer. He has angular facial features, a prominent nose, short wavy hair, and a serious expression. The man is wearing a loose, voluminous historical garment with intricate drapery and layers, including a high collar. In his right hand, he holds a string of beads against his torso, while his left hand is partly visible. The background has a finely etched texture, emphasizing the man in the composition.
