The image displays a bust-length portrait of a man known as Iacobus V in an intricate drawing. He is seated, slightly turned to his left, with a serious expression. His features include a prominent nose, a small beard and moustache, and defined cheekbones. He has neatly styled hair with a portion swept to the side, adorned by a decorative hat. The man wears a detailed doublet under a cloak decorated with pearls, topped with a hat resembling a jeweled beret. He also wears a chain around his neck with an emblem. The composition is surrounded by ornate designs and a rectangular border with geometric patterns. Below the portrait, there is Latin text inscribed for additional context.
