The image is a portrait of a man in a slight three-quarter view, with long wavy hair, a well-groomed mustache and goatee. He wears a dark garment with a high rounded collar and a decorative ribbon tied at the neck. An oval frame with an inscription surrounds him. At the bottom, there is an elaborate coat of arms. The background has a lined pattern that contrasts with the man's clothing and hair, emphasizing the figure within the ornate border.
