The image shows a man's upper body in a three-quarter position, facing slightly to the right. He has a prominent forehead, arched eyebrows, a mustache, and a neatly trimmed goatee. His hair is neatly combed back and wavy. He is wearing a high-collared garment underneath a decorated breastplate. The portrait is enclosed within an oval frame with Latin inscriptions. The background is textured with horizontal lines. There is additional Latin text above and below the oval frame.
