The image displays a portrait of a man from the chest up. He is facing slightly to the right of the viewer with his head turned partially towards the viewer in a three-quarter profile. The man has a mature face with a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, curly and voluminous hair. He is depicted wearing a high-collared garment with a ruffled collar and a buttoned vest. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. An oval border surrounds him with accompanying writing. A heraldic shield with various elements, including a bird on top of a helmet, is next to him. The background features a textured pattern to emphasize the central figure.
