The image shows a portrait of a man depicted from the waist up, positioned facing forward. He has a round face, a prominent jawline, and small eyes. He has a short beard and moustache, and his hair is styled with waves gently tucking under a flat hat adorned with jewels and an ornate band. He wears richly decorated clothing featuring a doublet with intricate designs and a fur-lined robe draped over his shoulders. The ensemble is embellished with ornate chains and pearls, including a chain across his chest and rings on his fingers. He holds a staff with a decorative top in his left hand. The background is an intricately patterned oval with scroll-like elements and writing surrounding the portrait, including an inscription in Latin and English detailing his titles and achievements. The upper corners show decorative shield-like emblems.
