In the right hand a dagger, the left hand with spread fingers on the hilt of the epee. Bearded head, slightly turned to the left. Clothing: beret with ostrich feathers, loose coat with fur collar and short sleeves. Along the hem an engraved ornament of volutes and flowers, the buildings trimmed with fur. Under the cloak a jerkin with a belt and a band with a bow around the neck, underneath a shirt. On the chest the insignia of the Golden Fleece, hanging on a cord. The shorts are open as well as the jerkin and sleeves. Knee-high socks in heel-high, reasonably pointed shoes.
