The image depicts a man's upper body in three-quarter view. He faces slightly left with his head turned in the same direction, showing a side profile. The man has distinctive facial features including a pronounced nose, thin lips, and deep-set eyes. His short, wavy, light-colored hair frames his face. He wears a large, round hat with decorations and a chain around his neck with a pendant. The man is dressed in an ornate, layered garment with a high collar and large sleeves. The background is dark and textured, and the image is designed in a monochromatic, engraved style. An inscription below the portrait suggests a historical figure.
