This painting shows a man's head and shoulders, facing right. He has fair skin, light-brown hair that's styled upwards, and a short beard and mustache. He wears a red, draped fabric over his left shoulder, with a large bow at the top. The man's attire includes a brown garment underneath the red fabric, adorned with gold embroidery and small white dots. The background of the painting is solid black. This painting might be worth comparing to other works by the artist, Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger.
