The image depicts a man in a portrait shown from the chest up. He is positioned with his body angled slightly to the left, facing the viewer. He has a long face with prominent features: a strong nose, thin lips, and focused eyes. His hair is shoulder-length, wavy, and parted in the middle, with a cap on his head. He is wearing a dark garment with a wide, white collar and a decorative clasp or brooch at the center. The portrait is enclosed in an oval frame, below which is a coat of arms with ornate design. The background has finely lined shading for depth.
