The image depicts a person standing in a composed position. The person is facing forward with their head slightly turned to the left. They are resting one hand on a table or bench covered by a textured cloth and holding a sword pointed downward in the other hand. The person has facial hair, wears a hat with a feather, a tunic with puffed sleeves, tight-fitting pants, and shoes. In the background, there is light hatching suggesting texture. A vase is on the left side of the table. The scene is set in a simple indoor setting with stippled patterns creating space around the figure.
