He wears a large, dark hat and formal attire with an ornate ruff around his neck, a patterned cloak, and a chain or decorative clasp. The portrait's framework includes flowing banners with Latin inscriptions and two cherubs holding scepters and a coat of arms at the top. The background features intricate patterns and engravings.
