The image is a portrait showing the upper body of a man turned to the left. The man's profile reveals facial features including a prominent nose, a beard, and a mustache. He has a serious expression and is wearing a flat cap over his relatively short hair. The clothing consists of a fur-lined coat with intricate detailing on the collar and a garment underneath that is not fully visible. The man is not depicted holding any objects, and there is no visible jewelry. Surrounding the figure is an oval frame adorned with a braided pattern. The background is lightly shaded with diagonal lines, and the upper right corner contains a patterned shield and the year "1562" is inscribed. The portrait includes stylized text beneath it.
