The image depicts a man in late 16th to early 17th-century attire. He is holding a baton-like object and has a composed expression. The man has a neatly trimmed mustache and pointed beard, with short hair styled away from his face. He is wearing a richly decorated coat, lace ruff, and pleated doublet. The man is surrounded by an ornate oval frame with text, against a dark background. The outer area of the image features elaborate scripted text and a patterned design.
