The image depicts a man in profile facing left. He has a long mustache, a goatee, a prominent nose, and is slightly smiling. His curly shoulder-length hair falls in defined waves. He is dressed formally with a high collar, a robe or cloak, an ornate brooch, and a diagonal sash. In the background, there is a decorative border resembling draped cloth. The image is titled at the bottom with an inscription of the man's titles or achievements.
