The image displays a portrait of a man seen from the mid-torso up. He is posed in a three-quarters view, slightly turned to his right. The man has a distinct facial expression, with a finely arched mustache and full beard. He wears a hat adorned with a patterned band, a high-collared garment with a large ruff around his neck, and holds a staff or rod in his left hand. The portrait is in black and white, framed by an oval with the inscription "IOANNES HAWKINS" around the edge. The background features cross-hatched lines for visual depth, with Latin text beneath the oval.
