The painting is clearly inspired by the Baroque style and light-dark contrasts (chiaroscuro) of Rembrandt van Rijn. Jan Theuns was known for his ability to masterfully imitate Rembrandt's technique and atmosphere.
A characteristic study (tronie) of an older, wise man with a striking, full white beard and head of hair.
The painting is set in a very opulent, deep gilded ornamental frame with detailed carving, which enhances the classical appearance of the portrait.
