The image depicts a person with curly hair and a mustache dressed in Renaissance-style attire. They are posed facing forward with a composed expression, wearing a doublet with a ruffled lace collar, a chain, and a hand resting on a decorated helmet. A sword hangs from their belt. In the background is a hanging globe showing continents, a landscape with fields and a city, and an ornate coat of arms on the right.
