The image features a classical portrait of a man shown from the chest up. He is posed facing the right and his gaze is slightly towards the viewer. The man has a composed expression with distinct facial features including a straight nose, full lips, and gentle gaze. His hair is neatly cut and appears gray or white. He is wearing a formal robe with a pleated texture and a cross pendant around his neck. The background is a dark oval shape and the image is bordered by an ornate oval frame with inscriptions in a classical style.
