He is wearing an elaborate outfit adorned with detailed embroidery, a fitted doublet, puffed sleeves, and a pleated skirt, all decorated with intricate designs. A large plumed hat with feathers is on his head, and he wears stockings and pointed shoes. He has jewelry around his neck and an ornate belt with a large buckle. In the background, there is a shield with a coat of arms on a tree and a plumed helmet on the ground among flowers. The landscape behind him includes a distant view of a castle and rolling hills.
