Black and white portrait of a man with light-colored, curled hair, wearing a dark, ornate outfit with a large collar and a decorative chain. The man is facing slightly to the right. He wears a dark cape over his shoulders. The outfit features buttons down the center and embellishments including squares and circles. A tassel hangs on the right side. The portrait is framed in an arch with a detailed border. The arch has a lighter-colored stone frame. A plaque at the bottom of the frame contains text. The background behind the man appears to be dark drapery. The overall style is formal and regal. Portrait of Philip IV by Paulus Pontius.
