This is a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is facing slightly to his left, with his gaze directed towards the viewer. He has a broad forehead, arched eyebrows, a prominent nose, a small moustache, dark curly hair that falls to about ear length, and is wearing a dark coat buttoned up the front with a large white collar. The man is surrounded by an ornate oval frame with text along its inner edge, and the background has a textured pattern with no distinct objects or scenery. There are inscriptions and text beneath the oval in a classical font.
