The image shows a man standing confidently in a full-body portrait. He is depicted in a three-quarter view, with his facial features including a mustache and neatly combed hair.

He holds a hat under his left arm and a sword with his right hand, with its scabbard hanging by his side. The background features textured brushwork hinting at a natural outdoor setting.
