The image depicts a half-body engraving of a man on a stylized pedestal. He is facing slightly to his right, showing a profile view of his facial features. He has prominent cheekbones, a pointed nose, and a mustache. His hair is wavy and medium in length, falling just above his shoulders. He wears a laurel wreath on his head and draped clothing resembling historical attire. A banner with partly legible text is at the base of the pedestal. The background is plain.
