The image is a portrait of a man depicted from the chest up, facing forward with a slight turn to his left. He has a round face, pronounced nose, and lips with a slight downturn at the corners. He has curly hair coming out from under a cap. The man wears a cap, a high-collared shirt, and a layered garment with a wide open collar. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is simple without distinct features, and below the portrait is a framed area with Latin inscriptions.
