The image depicts a man standing in an upright position. He has a distinguished face with a beard and mustache, curly hair, and wears a symbol of authority. The man is dressed in a richly decorated robe with an elaborate collar and sleeves, held together by a star-shaped brooch. He holds a baton or scepter in his right hand. Elaborate architectural elements frame his figure, with pilasters on both sides and a curved top border. The background features hills and a small building in the distance. The artwork is rendered in black and white with detailed etching lines.
