The image shows an upper body depiction of a man sitting with his torso slightly turned to the left. He has a full beard and mustache with short, receding hair, mostly covered by a cap. He is dressed in a doublet with fur trim and a wide, ruffled collar. The man holds a quill in his right hand and rests his left hand on an open book, pointing at its pages. The portrait is set in an oval frame, and there is a draped curtain visible behind him within the frame. The background outside the oval is a plain sheet with some spots and marks. A signature and written name appear below the image on the paper.
