The image shows a portrait of an elderly man from the waist up. He is positioned facing forward with his head slightly turned to the left. The man has a long, full beard and mustache, with a bald head and a short fringe of hair. He wears a long robe with a brocade texture over a dark vest and shirt, adorned with a large, pleated ruff around the neck. His attire is voluminous and appears to be of rich fabric, gathered at the wrists. The man holds a small, closed book in his left hand, with ornate detailing on the cover. In the background, a banner with the Latin phrase "Virtus Dei in Infirmitate" is visible, and above the portrait, there is a script that denotes his name and titles. The entire background consists of a plain, neutral tone, with additional text inscriptions along the bottom border of the image. The artwork is contained within a rectangular frame.
