He is shown in full face wearing a historical military uniform with a high collar and design elements suggesting armor. The frame features intricate details including scrollwork, laurel leaves, and various instruments. Flanking the frame are two cherubic figures, with one holding a shield adorned with a face. Fantastical creatures resembling lions or dragons are positioned behind them. Above the portrait is an emblem with a star, wings, and ribbons.
