The image shows a man's upper body portrait. He is looking directly at the viewer with a composed expression. The man has wavy, shoulder-length hair, a neatly trimmed mustache, and goatee. He wears formal attire with a dark robe, white collar, and a sash with a star-shaped emblem on his left shoulder. There is a coat of arms below the portrait. The background includes an oval frame with an inscription and a detailed textured pattern. The engraving is monochromatic with intricate lines and shading.
