The image depicts a man in an upper body portrait. He is positioned slightly angled to the right and looking toward the left. The man has a long nose, a serene expression with arched eyebrows and a slight smile. He has curly shoulder-length hair. The man is wearing a detailed breastplate, a lace collar, and a draped sash across his chest. He is not wearing jewelry or holding any objects. The background features an oval border with radiating lines, creating depth. The border below includes a heraldic emblem and script, and there is a printed biography in the rectangular area under the circular frame.
