The image shows an engraving of a man from the waist up, seated with his body turned slightly to the right. He has his right hand over his chest and his left hand appears to be writing or gesturing towards an open book in front of him. The man has a high forehead, a receding hairline, and a neatly trimmed beard. His facial expression is serious. His hair is closely cropped. He is dressed in a robe with a high collar and buttons down the front. Surrounding him is a dark textured background, with a radiant emblem featuring the initials "IHS" and a cross above it to the upper right of his head. The setting includes an open book and a writing instrument on a table before him.
