The painting shows a half-length portrait of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, facing right in front of a curtain. Albrecht is wearing a mozetta over his white vestments and has a cardinal's hat on his head. His coat-of-arms is shown next to him and it is repeated in a simplified form on the ring he is wearing on the index finger of his right hand. The cartouche in the top right corner is blank.
