This painting is a portrait of a man from the chest upwards, his body and head turned slightly to the left. The man has pale skin, blue eyes, high cheekbones, slightly furrowed brows, a straight nose, and pink lips in a neutral expression. He has shoulder-length wavy brown hair and wears a dark green jacket with a white-and-yellow fur collar and a floppy black hat with a brim that curves around his forehead. The background is plain black. A monogram is visible in the top left corner, and the date "1507" is inscribed in the top right corner.
