The image portrays a man from the waist up, seated in a regal position. He has a long, full beard, flowing hair, and a serious expression. He is wearing a crown, a patterned robe, and holding a scepter and an orb with a cross. The background is plain with inscriptions identifying him as Henry the 1st, King of England, and Duke of Normandy, with the number three visible near his shoulder.
