A man with a reddish-brown beard, black hat, and dark clothing against a green background
A waist-up depiction shows a man with a reddish-brown beard and mustache, set against a plain, dark olive green background. The man's head faces the viewer directly, with light-colored eyes and a neutral expression. He wears a soft, black beret-style hat adorned with a dark, fluffy feather plume positioned on the right side of his head. His attire consists of a dark, high-collared garment, possibly a tunic or doublet, which covers his shoulders and chest. A vertical row of small, dark, round buttons extends down the center front of this garment. Beneath the dark outer layer, white, slightly rumpled sleeves are visible at his forearms, extending to the lower edges of the painting. The man's torso is angled slightly to the viewer's left. A simple, dark brown border frames the entire painted scene, with a lighter, horizontal band at the very bottom, resembling a ledge or sill.
