He wears an armor suit, a cloak draped over one shoulder, and intricate designs visible. The frame is adorned with trumpets, torches, cherubs, a laurel wreath, and a star at the top. A detailed coat of arms is at the bottom center. The background contains engravings of a deity-like figure with a blowing wind.
