The image displays a portrait of a man from his chest upwards, facing forward with his head turned slightly to his left. He has a curling mustache, small beard, curly hair styled back, and is dressed in a historical military outfit with decorative armor, a draped sash, and a textured ruff around his neck. He holds a baton in his right hand. The portrait is framed with ornate scrolling designs and text around and beneath the figure, likely denoting his titles and achievements. The background is filled with fine lines for depth and texture.
