This is a full-body portrait of a man in a highly unusual costume. He is depicted in a dynamic pose, seemingly in the midst of a performance or juggling act. The most striking feature is his attire. He is completely covered in a patterned suit, where the pattern consists of small, white dice with black dots. The dice are densely packed across his entire outfit, including a close-fitting doublet, hose (tights), and a hat. A thin, white band encircles his neck, forming a ruff. He is holding a green, spherical object (possibly a ball or fruit) aloft with one hand, while the other hand is extended as if to catch it. The ball is attached to a long, thin pole. The man has a pale complexion, with a small, pointed beard and mustache. His facial expression is neutral. He is wearing black shoes with the same dice pattern. The background is a plain, off-white color. The style of the artwork suggests it is a historical illustration or a costume study, possibly from the 16th or 17th century. The overall impression is whimsical and theatrical.
