His hair is styled in a classical manner with curls framing the sides, appearing grey or aged white. He wears an elaborate outfit typical of the 18th century, with a high-collared shirt with ruffles at the neckline and a sash-like garment draped over his shoulder, adorned with intricate detailing. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is an oval-shaped area with a textured pattern, resembling the frame of an engraved portrait.
