The image shows a man with distinct facial features, including a curled mustache and pointed beard. He is seated and slightly turned to his right, wearing a period garment with a wide pleated collar and a decorated button closure. He has wavy hair that extends to his neck and is draped in a patterned outer robe or cloak. One hand is on his lap, while the other rests with an open palm. The background has a finely hatched texture.
