This portrait depicts a bust view of a man, showing his head and shoulders. He is positioned facing slightly to the viewer's right, with the right side of his face more prominently displayed. The man has a high forehead and thinning hair, with a neatly trimmed mustache and beard. His eyebrows are well-defined, and he gazes directly at the viewer with a calm expression. He is wearing a collared garment, possibly a robe or cloak, with a textured fabric. The garment is fastened with buttons down the center. The background features engraved lines creating an oval frame around the figure. There is no visible jewelry or objects held by the subject. At the bottom of the image is text identifying the individual as "Gvido S. R. E. Cardinalis Bentivolus," along with mention of his age being fifty-four, and the artist’s signature below.
