This image is an engraved portrait of a man from the chest up. He is facing forward with his gaze slightly to the side. He has a beard and mustache, and is wearing a hat with a badge. He is dressed in elaborate clothing with a ruffled collar typical of the Elizabethan era. The man holds a baton and wears a chain of office, suggesting authority. The background is decorated with symbols, floral motifs, and Latin inscriptions. An inscription identifies the man as Sir William Cecil.
