The image shows a portrait of a man from the shoulders up, positioned facing forward. His facial features include a prominent forehead, bushy eyebrows, deep-set eyes, a long nose, and a full beard and mustache. He has a stern expression. He is wearing a round, soft hat with a peak at the front, a buttoned coat with a high collar, and draped fabric around it. There are no visible objects or jewelry being worn. The background is a textured, lined pattern within an oval frame, and there is a decorative border with text running around the oval, indicating the subject's name and titles.
