The image shows a bust-length depiction of a person in a three-quarter view to the left. The individual is in a regal or authoritative pose, with their head slightly turned. Their features are detailed, with strong facial features, a prominent nose and lips, and a beard. They are wearing an elaborate turban or headdress with a central jewel or brooch, suggesting nobility. Their clothing is richly embroidered, and they have large earrings. Behind them, another figure appears to be floating, holding an object above the main figure's head. The background has a textured, stippled pattern in an oval frame. The text "RICHARD, II" is inscribed above the figure, identifying them.
