The image depicts a man sitting, facing slightly to the right. He has fair skin, a straight nose, and white, slightly curly hair styled in an 18th-century manner. He wears a navy blue coat with gold embellishments, a white shirt with a ruffled collar, a red sash, and a star-shaped badge. A medallion hangs around his neck. The man is seated at a table with a document in front of him, holding a quill pen. The background is neutral.
