The image shows an upper-body portrait of a man. He is positioned facing slightly to the left but gazes directly at the viewer. His facial features include a pointed beard and a curled mustache, and he has light hair visible from beneath his cap. He is wearing elaborate clothing typical of the period, including a dark garment with intricate patterns and a lace collar. A hat with a large feather sits atop his head. The background of the image is an ornate engraved pattern. Text surrounds the portrait, encircling it with an inscription, and additional text is present below the image describing his title and accomplishments.
