The image shows a portrait of a man's upper body. He is positioned in a semi-profile view, turned slightly to his left. The man has a calm expression with well-defined facial features, including a prominent nose and mustache, and his hair is short and neatly combed back. He is wearing elaborate clothing typical of the period, featuring a richly patterned, fur-lined cloak, and a large, starched ruff collar around his neck. The background of the portrait consists of a textured, crosshatched pattern. Below the image, there is an inscription in Latin.
