This warrior has a thin moustache, a shaved chin and appears to be smiling. His hair is short and straight, forming a point on the forehead, leaving the temples bald. The features are marked by Western influence. The face is that of a middle-aged man, marked by wrinkles, which give the portrait its character. The earlobes are deformed.
