The image shows a portrait of a man depicted from the chest up. He is facing slightly towards his right. His expression is neutral, with deep-set eyes, a well-defined nose, short beard, and mustache. His hair is slightly curly, peeking out from under a small cap. The man is wearing a garment with a large, white folded collar, overlaid with a dark robe with detailed line patterns. There is a visible chain or medallion around his neck. The background consists of an oval frame and a linear pattern. Below the portrait, there is a crest or coat of arms.
