The image shows an upper-body portrait of a historical figure, Sir Walter Raleigh. He is seated facing forward, with his body slightly turned to his right. He has a neatly trimmed mustache and goatee, and his hair is styled smoothly back. He is wearing elaborate attire with a lace ruff around his neck, a patterned doublet with puffed padded sleeves, and decorative buttons. He is holding a staff. The background features an ornate border with text and engravings, botanical, and architectural motifs.
