The image is a portrait of a man with a prominent facial structure. He is slightly turned to his right, facing mostly forward. He has high cheekbones, a straight nose, a small mouth with a mustache, and a slightly pointed chin. His mid-length wavy hair is light in color and reaches just above his shoulders. He is wearing a formal garment with a high collar made of a heavy brocade or patterned fabric and a decorative tassel. An ornamental oval frame surrounds the man, with a densely shaded background. At the bottom of the frame, there is a heraldic crest featuring three five-pointed stars above a shell motif. The overall image has a classic and formal appearance.
