The image shows a portrait cut from the chest up of a man with an oval frame surrounding him. He is positioned to the side but faces the viewer directly with a confident posture. His facial features include a prominent brow, a well-defined nose, and a beard that is short and well-kept, with his hair appearing curly and voluminous. He's wearing a richly textured and patterned garment typical of a renaissance or early modern period, featuring elaborate embroidery or brocade and puffed sleeves with a high collar. There is no visible jewelry on him, and he is not holding any objects. The background includes ornate, detailed patterns within the oval frame. The outer part of the oval frame is inscribed with Latin text that reads "ANNO AETATIS LXII. M.DC.XI." and "ARTE ET MARTE."
