The image shows a portrait of a man, depicting his upper body and head. He is turned slightly to his right and looking directly at the viewer. The man has a distinctive facial appearance, featuring a prominent nose, sharp eyes, and a trimmed beard and mustache. His hair is curly and brushed back, appearing light in color. He is dressed in a high-collared garment with intricate patterns and a cloak secured with a decorative brooch at his shoulder. The background features an oval frame with Latin inscriptions surrounding the portrait. The area outside the oval frame is shaded with horizontal lines for depth and contrast.
