The image is an engraved portrait showing a man's upper body. He is slightly turned to his right but facing forward. The man has distinct facial features, including strong cheekbones, a pointed nose, and a goatee, along with thick, wavy hair styled back. He is dressed in a dark garment with a ruffled white collar, a buttoned vest or coat, and wears a chain with a pendant. The portrait is within an oval frame with intricate designs, a classical head above it, and crossed staff-like elements at the top corners. There is a decorative section below with Latin inscription. The artwork is in black and white with detailed shading and engraved line work.
