The image depicts an upper-body portrait of a man facing slightly to his right, with his gaze towards the viewer. He has a trimmed beard and mustache, wavy hair, and is dressed in elaborate clothing with a lace ruff around his neck. He holds a staff or baton in his right hand. The portrait is set in an ornate oval frame with ribbons and an inscription, with a coat of arms at the top. The background features intricate lines and scrollwork.
