The image shows the upper body of a man in a frontal position. He has a full mustache and beard, fair skin, light-colored eyes, and light hair styled back. He is wearing a high-collared garment, possibly a coat with a broad black collar. Surrounding him is a decorative frame with intricate floral and scroll designs. Below the image, the text reads "HENRY DVC DE LORRAINE." The background within the frame is a red and pink pattern resembling marble or clouds, while the outside of the portrait is set against a darker and ornamental border.
