The image shows a portrait of a man from the chest up facing slightly to the viewer's right. He has a mustache, short beard, dark hair styled back, and wears a skullcap. The man wears clerical attire with a large, white, square collar over a dark robe and a cross emblem around his neck. He has a calm expression and looks straight ahead. The background has evenly spaced lines, and below the image is a label with text that reads, "CLAVDIVS DE REBE ARCHIEPISC. ET PRIMAS NARBONENSIS."
