Detailed Description
A rectangular portrait, set within an ornate gold frame, depicts a man from the waist up against a dark background. The man, positioned slightly to the viewer's right, looks directly forward. He is bald with a dark brown, neatly trimmed beard and mustache, and fair skin. He wears a dark, possibly black, long-sleeved coat with a high, dark fur collar and a white ruffled collar underneath. His right hand, positioned in the lower left of the portrait, points downwards, holding a light-colored, folded object, possibly a glove or cloth. His left hand, in the lower right, holds a delicate gold chain. To the man's left, in the upper left background, a dark, metallic piece of armor with decorative elements is visible. To his right, a dark green, draped curtain hangs, partially revealing more armor, including a breastplate and a gauntlet. A rolled document or scroll and a slender, pointed object, possibly a dagger or stylus, are also visible vertically near the armor on the right. The lighting highlights the man's face and hands against the darker background elements.
