Black and white portrait of a man with shoulder-length wavy hair. The man wears a dark shirt with a wide lace collar and a puffy sleeve on his right shoulder. His body faces slightly left while his head looks forward. He is framed by an ornate border made of leaves and berries with bows at the top, left, right, and bottom. The top bow contains a shield. Two bows on the left and right contain the letters "T" and "D". The bottom bow contains a shield. The artist's signature appears at the bottom right.
