The image is an engraving of a man's partial portrait within an oval border. He has a stern expression, a long beard, and a receding hairline with short hair on top. His attire appears traditional or historical with a ruffled collar. Surrounding the oval frame are other figures, including one on the left holding a staff and one on the right blowing a trumpet. Above the portrait, a cherubic figure holds a compass, while below, a putto leans over a skull. The scene is set on an ornate base with intricate designs and a text inscription at the bottom, against a dark backdrop.
