The image shows a man standing confidently with a slight right-facing stance. He has his hands resting on a detailed hilt resembling a sword. He has a bearded face, pointed chin, mustache, styled hair, and wears an extravagant hat with a plume. He wears a coat with a ruffled collar, puffed sleeves, billowing trousers tucked into tall boots with visible spurs. The background shows a dynamic scene with figures on horseback and foot in a landscape with swirling smoke or foliage.
