This is a portrait of a man shown from the waist up. He is turned slightly to the side but faces towards the viewer in a three-quarter profile. His facial features are distinct, with a slim face, a slight mustache, and a pointed goatee. His curly hair reaches down around his collar, with a voluminous texture. He is dressed in a period garment with a high, ornate collar and a dark coat with intricate details. At the top of his collar is a decorative clamshell or lace. The portrait is within an oval frame with concentric lines around it. Below the portrait is a family crest with two lion figures on either side of a shield or emblem. The background consists of fine horizontal lines within the oval frame.
