The image shows a portrait of a man from the chest up in a classic three-quarter view turned slightly to his right. He has a direct gaze with eyes looking towards the viewer's left. His facial features include a broad forehead, prominent eyes, and slightly downturned lips. The man has medium-length curly hair worn beneath a small cap and wears traditional ecclesiastical clothing. The background is a plain, dark oval contrasting with the lighter tones of his face and attire. A decorative oval frame surrounds the image, inscribed with text identifying the individual portrayed.
