The image shows a person seated on a throne. The individual is facing forward, with both hands resting on their lap. One hand holds a large orb topped with a cross. The person has a full, neatly trimmed beard and moustache, and short hair. They wear a crown on their head and regal attire. The clothing is detailed, featuring a fur-lined mantle with patterns and a high collar. A chain with a large medallion is worn around their neck. The background includes windows with patterned glass, and the throne has lion heads on the armrests. There is a decorative tapestry on the rear wall.
