The image portrays a man standing upright, slightly turned to the left, with his right hand resting on a helmet on a pedestal. The man has a defined nose, full beard, mustache, broad forehead, medium-length curly hair, and wears a cap with a brim. He is adorned in detailed armor with shoulder and knee plates, a cloak, and holds a sword in his left hand on the ground. The background features hills, ships, and an ornate arch with decorative elements and a carved face in a sun at the top. The scene is on a tiled floor.
