A vertically oriented gum tempera and gold painting depicts a man with light skin in profile, facing left. He wears a gold-patterned white tunic and a turban with a white feather. He holds a white hawk on his gloved hand. Behind him, a white fence and pink flowers stand against a muted green background. A dark border and a wide beige margin with faint floral designs frame the vertical scene.
