The image is a portrait showing the upper half of a man's body. The man is facing slightly to his right, with a defined mustache, a goatee, and shoulder-length wavy hair. He is dressed in 17th-century attire, wearing a dark cloak with a large star emblem on the left shoulder, a white collar, and a sash diagonally crossing his chest. The background features a richly hatched oval frame with decorative patterns. Below the image is an ornate cartouche displaying a crest or coat of arms, surrounded by decorative elements.
