The image displays a man from the waist up in a frontal position. He has distinct facial features including a mustache and short, curly hair. The man wears a suit of armor with a ruffled collar extending above the armor's top edge. One hand rests on his hip, and the other holds a baton-like object. A sword is visible at his waist. Next to him is a helmet with feathers on top. The background features draped fabric and an ornate shield or coat of arms on the wall.
