The image depicts a man in a straight-on position. He has a stern expression with deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and a slightly furrowed brow. His hair is short and mostly covered by a cap. He is wearing a traditional robe with a thick fur trim. The background is a plain oval frame with text surrounding it. The engraving style gives the portrait a historical and classical appearance.
