The image shows a half-length portrait of an older man seated. He faces forward but is slightly turned to the side. The man has a slender face with a prominent nose and a faint smile. He has medium-length, slightly wavy hair and is wearing a skullcap. He is dressed in formal ecclesiastical attire, including a large collar and robes. He wears a cross pendant around his neck. The image is framed in an octagonal design with embossed text around it and a shaded background, emphasizing the detailed engravings of his clothing and facial features. The overall tone is monochromatic.
