The painting depicts a person from the waist up with a fair complexion, sideburns, dark combed-up hair, and a neutral facial expression. The individual's left hand is resting on the front of a brightly adorned military jacket. The jacket features red and gold decorations, gold shoulder epaulettes, a high collar, gold buttons, a white cravat, a decorative sash across the chest and waist, a sheathed sword attached to the waist, and an intricate gold belt. The background is a plain, muted gray.
