The image shows the upper half of a man's body in profile, turned slightly to the right. The man has a full, curly beard and a mustache, with a stern expression on his face. His eyes are looking off into the distance. He is wearing a hat, a detailed garment with a high collar, and a draped outer cloak. A hand is visible holding onto the cloak near his chest. The background is plain, with a monochrome backdrop. There is script in the upper left corner containing names and a date.
