The image depicts the upper half of a man's body, positioned facing slightly to the right with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has distinct facial features with a high forehead, arched eyebrows, eyes, a pointed nose, and a mustache. His hair is short and receding. He is dressed in a garment with a high ruffled collar and a decorated chest piece. The sleeves of his outfit have decorative braids or stitching. The portrait is encased in an oval frame, and the background has finely lined shading. At the base of the oval frame, there is a plaque reading "Petrus Ernestus Graef Van Mansfeldt" on a textured surface.
