The image shows a man from the waist up, facing slightly left and looking directly at the viewer. He has refined facial features with a mustache and beard. His shoulder-length hair is curly. The man wears ornate clothing with a jacket and lace collar. He holds a rolled parchment in his right hand and rests his left hand on a table with ornate armor pieces. A plumed helmet and ornate sword are by his side. The background shows a stone ledge with foliage and a landscape with clouds and hills. There is a French inscription at the bottom of the image.
