He has distinct facial features, including a prominent nose, deep eyes, and a full beard with a mustache. He has short, wavy hair and is wearing a dark garment with a textured pattern and a white ruffled collar peeking through. The man is holding an object in his right hand. The background has a closely knit pattern, and there is text below the portrait in a formal script.
