The image features a detailed portrait of a person from the chest up. The individual faces slightly to the right with a gentle expression. They have a slight mustache and medium-length wavy hair. The person wears period clothing with an ornate collar and a garment adorned with an emblem. An ornamental ribbon drapes over their chest. The oval frame surrounding them is intricately designed with botanical motifs, possibly laurel leaves. The background includes two crowns, the letters "IV," and decorative foliage.
