The image shows an elderly man seated in an elaborately carved chair. His upper body and part of his lower body are visible. He is facing slightly to the left, looking directly at the viewer. The man has a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and thin lips. His gray, wavy hair falls to his shoulders. He is wearing ecclesiastical attire with fur trim. His hands are resting on a bundled cloth in his lap, and he appears to be holding a document or book. The setting includes a table with books and an inkstand with quills. Heavy drapery with an ornate pattern and tassels hangs in the background.
