The image depicts a man in armor, visible from the upper half of his body. The man is standing with his head turned slightly to the left, facing the viewer. He has an oval face, a mustache, and long, wavy hair. He wears a suit of armor including a chest plate and shoulder guards. There is a coat of arms on the upper left and a decorative element resembling a helmet with an animal, potentially a lion, on the upper right. The background is textured with parallel horizontal lines. Below the image is text outlining the titles and positions of "Iames Marquesses of Montrose" in Scotland.
