The man has distinct facial features, including a prominent nose and a mustache. His hair is wavy and voluminous, falling in loose curls. He is depicted wearing what appears to be historical armor over a high-collared shirt. The background is plain, and there is text identifying the person as Thomas Wentworth below the portrait.
