The image is a portrait of a man shown from the chest up in profile, facing to the right. He is wearing a hat that appears to be a beret with a decorative emblem on the front. The man's facial features are detailed, with a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, a strong brow, and a homey beard. His clothing consists of a robe or coat with a distinctive collar tied at the front. There are no visible jewelry or handheld objects. The background is plain and unadorned, with a text at the bottom identifying him as "CRISTOFER9 MARCHIO BADENSIS" and the artwork dated 1511 at the top.
