The image displays an elderly man in a three-quarter view, focusing on his head and shoulders. He is turned slightly to his right, gazing forward and slightly upward. The man has a notable forehead, deep-set eyes, and a long beard. His head is covered by a snug cap, and he wears a garment with a fur collar that frames his face and covers his shoulders. Underneath the fur, he has a buttoned undergarment. The background is plain, with fine horizontal lines that indicate it may be an engraved portrait.
