This is a portrait of a man depicted from the upper body, slightly turned to the right. He has a defined face with high cheekbones, a pointed goatee, and a mustache. His hair is medium length, wavy, and parted down the middle. He wears a skullcap and is dressed in elaborate clothing with a wide stiff collar, a patterned garment, and a medal with a decorative cross around his neck. The portrait is framed by an ornate oval wreath, and below it, there is a scroll with the inscription "SEMPER IDEM." Surrounding the frame are decorative elements, including two books on either side and a rolled paper.
