The image shows a person riding a horse. The person is seated on the horse with their body turned slightly to the left. Their facial features show a mustache and a goatee, and their hair is styled in a voluminous manner. They are wearing ornate armor, with detailing around the chest, arms, and legs. A ruffled collar is present around their neck. Their right hand holds a baton or a staff, while the left hand grips the reins of the horse. The horse has a flowing mane and raised front legs. The background features a small fortified castle or settlement on an island, with hills and water in the background. Above the person, in the top left corner, there is a heraldic crest.
