The image is a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is facing slightly to the viewer's left, with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has a mustache and a slight smile, with long curly hair protruding from under a cap. He is wearing a dark, intricately patterned garment with a square collar with lace detail. An emblem near his shoulder features a crowned lion. The background is an oval frame against a detailed patterned backdrop.
