The artwork is a portrait showing a man standing in a relaxed pose. He leans against a stone ledge with one arm, with his other hand holding a black hat adorned with a red feather. The man has long, curly brown hair and a mustache. He is dressed in a dark outfit with intricate white lace cuffs and a wide lace collar. A gold sash with a red embellishment crosses his chest. His trousers are knee-length, and he wears white stockings with decorative lace at the knees. The background features a classical ruin with arches and a landscape, including a small figure and a dog in the distance. In the lower left corner, there is a carving and a partially visible sculpture.
