The image is a portrait showing the upper half of a man's torso, primarily from the chest upwards. The man is depicted in a seated position, turning slightly to his right while looking directly at the viewer. He has medium-length, wavy hair that frames his face and a distinct mustache and goatee. His facial features are rendered with detailed lines. He is wearing a high-collared garment with a large, decorated medal hanging on his chest. The portrait's setting features an ornate, octagonal frame that is intricately designed with linear patterns, and beneath the portrait, there is a crest-like emblem with a coat of arms and decorative elements. The background is composed of finely crosshatched lines.
