The image shows a man in a fencing stance, with his upper body facing right. He has curly hair, an aquiline nose, high cheekbones, pursed lips, and is wearing ornate armor with intricate designs. He is holding a rapier with both hands, wearing decorative shoes and a garter on his right leg. Plumes and a helmet are on the ground near him. The background is plain with the inscription "HENRICVS PRINCEPS" above a faint horizontal line.
