The image shows the upper half of a man seated within an ornate frame. His features include a broad forehead, prominent eyebrows, a mustache, and a beard. His hair is sparse on top but fuller on the sides and beard. The man wears a dark garment with a high collar and holds a plant in his right hand. The background features carvings, cherubic figures above the frame, and floral motifs. Text is inscribed around what appears to be an oval frame, and the background resembles architectural elements.
