The image shows an upper-body portrait of a man positioned slightly turned to his side, leaning slightly towards the viewer with his head turned to face the front. His hair is curly and reaches his shoulders, neatly framing his face, and he has a well-groomed mustache and goatee. He is wearing a voluminous, draped garment, likely a robe or cloak, over a collared shirt with only the collar visible. His hand is partially visible, holding the fabric of his garment near his chest. The background features a curtain on the right side and a textured wall or backdrop on the left side, which provides depth to the image. There are no other visible objects or jewelry in the image. The engraving includes the name "CORNELIVS POELENBORCH" prominently printed below.
