The image shows a portrait of a man depicted from the chest up, with his body turned slightly to the right while his face looks directly at the viewer. The man has shoulder-length, wavy hair and a neatly trimmed mustache and goatee. His facial features include a prominent nose and deep-set eyes. He is wearing a garment with a high fur collar and a patterned shawl or wrap draped over his shoulder. The background is a detailed pattern of lines and fleur-de-lis designs, framing the oval in which the portrait is enclosed.
