The image is a portrait showing the upper body of a man. He has long, curly hair that flows over his shoulders and frames his face. His facial features include arched eyebrows, a long nose, and a slightly pointed chin, with a composed expression. He is wearing an elaborately decorated coat with floral patterns and a lace cravat visible at the neck. The background is dark and featureless, focusing attention on the subject. The portrait is framed within an oval border.
