The image includes a bust portrait of a man centered within a decorative circular frame. The man is facing slightly to his right with a neutral expression. He has a round face, prominent nose, full lips, light complexion, and grey, short wavy hair styled off his forehead. He wears a red coat with a ribbon, a star-shaped medal, and intricate gold embroidery on the collar. There is a white lace cravat around his neck. The circular frame is embellished with an ornate stone motif featuring laurels at the top and a relief sculpture at the bottom with various figures, including a shield and open books. The background is plain.
