The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is facing forward with his head turned slightly to the right. The man has long, slightly wavy hair that falls on his shoulders and a styled goatee. His facial features include sharp eyebrows, deep-set eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. He is dressed in ornate armor with intricate patterns and a detailed collar, a patterned sash over his shoulder, holding a staff in his right hand. He wears a medallion around his neck. The background has a decorative border with scrolls and inscriptions, two figures with swords, a coat of arms with Latin inscriptions, and an angel-like figure at the bottom.
