The image depicts a man from the waist up, turned to the side and looking to his right. He has a round face, brown curly hair, and wears a black hat, coat with fur lining, and a white pleated shirt. One hand holds the fur on his coat, while the other rests in front of him. In the background, a green curtain is partially drawn aside, revealing a landscape with a tree, a building, and a faint path or river. The inscription "1529 N.K." is at the top left.
