The image portrays the upper body of a man facing slightly to the left but looking directly at the viewer. The man has defined facial features, with a high forehead, narrow eyes, and a pointed beard and mustache. His hair is short and wavy, styled neatly. He is adorned in a richly detailed garment with an elaborate lace collar, large ornamental buttons, a tassel around his neck, and patterned fabric. The man holds a slender object in his right hand. The background features an ornate oval border with text and flourishes, a decorated band with text above the portrait, and a heraldic coat of arms with more text below, all set against an aged paper background.
