The painting depicts a man dressed in traditional Polish attire, standing in a formal setting. He wears a red and white robe with a blue sash, adorned with a large medal on a red ribbon around his neck. His right hand rests on his hip, while his left hand holds a black hat. In the background, a dark, ornate chair is visible to the left, and a table with a crown on it is seen to the right. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of grandeur and formality. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Louis de Silvestre, a French painter known for his portraits of European royalty.
