The image is an engraved portrait of a man in full-body view. He is standing upright, facing slightly right with his left hand on his hip and his right hand hanging at his side. His facial features are distinct with a serious expression, and he has short, curly hair. The man is dressed in an elaborate costume resembling a traditional matador's outfit, adorned with detailed embroidery and patterns. Over his left shoulder, he carries a draped cape. He wears ballet flats that complement his formal attire. The background consists of evenly spaced horizontal lines.
