The image depicts a portrait showing the upper body of a man who is positioned facing slightly to his right, with his gaze directed towards the viewer. He has a long, narrow face with pronounced cheekbones, a small pointed beard, and thin lips. His hair is curly and falls to just above his shoulders, and he wears a small cap on the crown of his head. The man's clothing consists of a fur-trimmed cloak over what appears to be formal attire, including a visible collar. No jewelry or handheld objects are present. The background features an oval frame with dense, linear patterns surrounding the figure, and below the portrait is a decorative coat of arms with ornate designs, including a crescent moon and a star, flanked by roses or lions.
