This print depicts a man from the waist up, his body slightly turned to the right and his face looking directly at us. He has pale skin, curled hair falling to his shoulders and partially covered by a thin cap, and a neatly trimmed beard and mustache. The man wears a dark robe with a textured pattern, a wide collar, buttons, and a decorative square clasp at the front. The portrait is a circle, surrounded by an ornate wreath. Below the main portrait are other small scenes and details, including musical instruments in the top left, folded flags in the top right, and three scenes below showing battles and large groups of people. The rest of the space is filled with thin horizontal lines.
