The image depicts a man with a distinguished face, wearing a large hat with a decorative band. He has a mustache, pointed beard, medium-length curly hair, and is dressed in an elaborate outfit including a doublet with intricate patterns, a fur-trimmed cloak, and a large lace collar. His right hand rests on a scroll. The background features an ornate frame with a coat of arms, Latin script, and an inscription at the bottom.
