The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is seated in a slightly angled position, facing towards the left side of the frame. The man has a beard and mustache, with curly hair visible under a tall, wide-brimmed hat. He is wearing elaborate clothing, including a patterned doublet with buttons and lace trim at the collar, a cloak over one shoulder, and a chain around his neck. The man holds the hilt of a sword in his left hand. The background includes draped curtains and a column.
