The image shows an upper body portrait of a man positioned at an angle. He has slightly wavy, shoulder-length hair framing his face. The man has a mustache and a beard, with a composed expression. He is wearing attire typical of a formal period with a wide white collar and a dark cloak draped over his shoulders. He is set within an oval frame adorned with decorative ribbons. The background includes an intricately carved curved pedestal below the frame, featuring a coat of arms with a decorative design beneath it.
