The portrait depicts a man shown from the waist up. He has distinctive facial features, including a slightly elongated face, prominent cheekbones, and a well-groomed mustache and goatee. His hair is styled in loose curls that fall to his shoulders. He is dressed in a richly detailed garment, consisting of a patterned doublet with puffed sleeves and adorned with buttons. A large, intricately crafted ruff collar encircles his neck. The background is plain with fine horizontal lines.
