He has distinct facial features including a mustache, beard, nose, and cheekbones. His hair is short and combed back. The man wears a garment with a high collar adorned with lace or embroidery. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The portrait is set in an oval frame within a detailed line work background. Below the oval frame is a decorative emblem with cherubic figures and a shield with a heart-like symbol. The background is composed of fine lines adding texture.
