This print is a portrait of a man with light skin, a long, square white beard, a white mustache, wavy white hair, a prominent nose, and deep-set eyes. The man is smiling slightly. He wears a black cap and a black jacket with a large white collar and several buttons down the front. The background behind him is dark gray. Surrounding him is an oval frame with a coat of arms at the bottom, featuring elaborate designs including several lions. The background outside of the oval is made from gray horizontal and vertical lines against off-white paper.
