The image displays a half-length portrait of a man in an oval frame. He faces slightly to the right with his body turned towards the viewer, and his head is turned slightly to the left, looking straight ahead. He has long, wavy hair, a prominent nose, thin lips, and deep-set eyes. The man wears a dark buttoned garment with a white collar and a visible shirt sleeve on his right side. The oval frame is set against a backdrop resembling bricks or a masonry pattern, with no visible jewelry or objects. Below the portrait is a text inscription within a decorative rectangular space.
