The image features a man with a pointed beard and a receding hairline, wearing a dark-colored garment with ornate embroidery and a large lace ruff around his neck. He is positioned slightly to the left, facing the viewer and gently holding onto his garment's lace with his right hand. The portrait is framed with Latin inscriptions, decorative scrollwork, and a coat of arms at the top. The background has a textured pattern that highlights the central figure.
