The image shows a bust-length portrait of a man within a decorative oval frame. The man is facing forward, with his torso slightly turned to the side but his head facing directly forward. He has long, curly hair, a prominent nose, and a composed expression. He wears a dark garment with a large square collar overlaid by a smaller inner garment with a pattern, and no visible jewelry. The background within the oval frame is shaded, while the outer border has a brick-like texture.
