The painting depicts a half-length portrait of a bareheaded man, facing right against a black curtain that reveals a view of a landscape at the right edge. The sitter wears a black doublet and pleated shirt under a fur-trimmed coat. His gown and the five rings on his left hand indicate his high social standing, while the rosary beads disclose his solidarity with the Roman Catholic Church.
