This is a portrait of a man seated in a frontal position but slightly angled to one side. He has a long, sharply trimmed beard and mustache, with deep-set eyes and a serious expression. He wears a dark, round hat, a large, elaborately folded ruff around his neck, a dark jacket with a fur collar, and a garment buttoned up the front. There are no visible jewelry. The background has a crosshatched pattern within a decorated oval frame with text.
