A man with a white mustache and beard wears a conical helmet and silver armor
A man is seated, facing slightly left, against a dark, plain background. He wears a dark, conical helmet with a gold-colored band and a fur-like trim around the brim. His face is illuminated on the left side, revealing a pale complexion, a prominent white mustache, and a short white beard. His eyes are dark, and his gaze is directed towards the left. He wears a shiny silver breastplate and pauldrons over a voluminous red tunic with wide sleeves. Gold-colored chains with decorative medallions hang from the pauldrons over the breastplate. His right arm, covered by the red sleeve, rests on the armrest of a dark chair, with the sleeve gathered in gold-colored bands at the wrist. His left hand, with fingers curled, holds the hilt of a sword or dagger, which is partially visible below his left arm. The background is a dark brown, with faint vertical lines suggesting a wooden wall behind him. The lighting creates strong contrasts, highlighting the man's face and armor while leaving much of the scene in shadow.
