The image is a portrait of Deodatus del Mont from the waist up. He is positioned with one hand on the hilt of a sword and the other partly visible with fingers touching the sword's pommel. His face is turned slightly towards the viewer, showing prominent facial features including a mustache and beard. His hair is curly and reaches just above the nape of his neck. He wears an elaborate outfit suitable for the era, featuring a dark coat and a large white ruff around his neck. A chain is visible around his waist. The background consists of a textured wall on one side.
