His hair is styled in a classic manner and tied back with a ribbon. He is dressed in formal attire from the 18th-century, complete with a high collar or cravat. Below the portrait, there is a trumpet, foliage resembling a laurel branch, and a partially unrolled scroll with text. The background features a textured dark surface with a patterned frame and decorative leafy motif above the circular frame against an engraved sky with light clouds.
