The image shows a man standing upright. He is turned slightly to his left, with his left hand resting on a cannon and his right hand holding a sword. The man has a composed expression, short wavy hair, and is dressed in a military uniform with ornate details. The background features cloudy patterns, a flag near the man's feet, and parts of a ship's rigging on the right side.
