This image is a portrait showing the upper half of a person's body. The person is in a seated position, facing slightly to the right while looking directly at the viewer. The individual has a long face with prominent eyes, a broad nose, and a full mouth. Their long, wavy hair cascades down past their shoulders. They are wearing armor that covers one shoulder and part of the chest, with a cloak or piece of fabric draped around. The person holds a baton in their right hand. The background features an intricately designed border with laurel leaves and decorative scrolls. Below the image, there is a plaque with text that reads: "FRANCISCVS AB ETRVRIA COSMI. II. MAGNI DVCIS ETRVRIAE F."
