The image depicts a portrait of a man, identified as King Henry VII, positioned at the center. He has a long nose, slightly hooded eyes, and thin lips, wearing a crown with jewels and a robe lined with ermine over a tunic fastened with a brooch and chain. He holds a scepter in one hand and an orb with a cross in the other. In front of him is a framed image of Elizabeth of York with a small cherub figure beside it holding a garland of flowers. The background features an elaborate frame with regal symbols and floral motifs.
