This image is a portrait of a man. He is facing slightly left with a calm expression, featuring prominent eyes, a straight nose, and a mustache. His hair is long, curly, and dark, covering his shoulder. He wears a detailed armor piece with metal studs on the shoulder and a lace cravat around his neck. The portrait is in an oval-shaped frame with inscriptions, and there are four sun-like faces in the background at the corners, radiating lines.
