The image is a portrait of a man seated with his upper body visible. His body is turned slightly to the right, and he has a direct gaze, a slender face, pronounced cheekbones, and a defined mustache and goatee. His curly hair flows to his collar. He wears an ornate garment with intricate patterns, a high lace collar, and a medallion on a chain around his neck. The background includes an ornate oval frame with scroll-like decorations above and below, topped by a coat of arms. The frame is inscribed with text including titles, with additional script at the bottom for identification.
