The illustration is a detailed engraving showing a man seated waist-up in a formal pose. The man has a bearded face and distinct eyebrows, with medium-length hair styled back under a tall hat adorned with a feather. He wears a richly decorated robe with a fur collar over a patterned garment, and a wide collar around his neck. The border features an archway with crowns and a heraldic device with lions, along with a section of Latin text below the image. The background is plain and neutral-colored, emphasizing the formal and historical nature of the image.
