The image depicts a man from the waist up, facing slightly to the right with a calm expression. He has wavy hair falling to his neck and facial hair including a mustache and a small beard. He is wearing a dark long-sleeved robe with a decorative collar. The background is textured and frames the central oval portrait, which includes an ornate crest with a coat of arms below it.
