The composition centres on a mounted commander, seen from behind, who directs his forces towards the fortified city walls.

His work often focused on historical, mythological, and allegorical subjects, reflecting the interests of the period. The drawing demonstrates his technical proficiency in handling perspective and anatomical detail, particularly in the rendering of the horses and the soldiers in the foreground.

The portrait captures the subject in a formal, contemplative pose, characteristic of seventeenth-century Dutch portraiture. Glimmer is shown at a table, his hand resting near a small book, while an hourglass sits in the background. This inclusion of the hourglass functions as a memento mori, a common motif in the period to remind the viewer of the passage of time and the inevitability of death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan de Passe employs precise, controlled lines to define the textures of Glimmer's clothing, particularly the ruff collar and the fabric of his doublet. The shading is achieved through a systematic application of cross-hatching, which creates a sense of volume and depth within the figure.
