He wears a hat with a large plume, a round ruff around his neck, a high-collared garment with detailed fabric, a mantle with shoulder pads, and a medallion on a ribbon around his neck. The background has hatched shading, an oval border with Latin script, and decorative patterns. Detailed inscriptions at the top and bottom provide context about the individual.
