The image shows an upper-body portrait of a man facing slightly to his right but looking directly at the viewer. The man has long, wavy hair that falls around his shoulders and a pointed beard and mustache. He is wearing a dark robe with a light-colored lace-trimmed collar and a sash across his chest. The intricate details of his clothing suggest a historical or formal attire. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects that he is holding. The background consists of an elaborately detailed border with text around the oval frame, and below the frame, there is a coat of arms with ornamental designs. The entire image has a classical, engraved appearance with fine lines and shading.
