The work is a reference to the painting by Rembrandt van Rijn entitled "The Polish Nobleman". It shows a mature man in a fur coat, presumably holding a marshal's staff
From under the high headgear emerges a deep gaze directed beyond the pictorial space. Complemented by a bushy mustache, it emphasizes the seriousness of the model. The whole is presented against a dark background with centralizing light.
