The man has a strong expression with deep eyes and wrinkles on his forehead. His hair is short or shaved, and he has sharp features. He wears a loose robe with a fur collar and a braided cord with a cross pendant around his neck. He is holding a sprig with flowers in one hand and his other hand is raised with slightly curled fingers. There is a ring on his left hand. The background is plain and dark, emphasizing the man's face and upper body.
