The image shows an engraved portrait of a man's upper body, with his right hand resting on his chest. He is positioned facing slightly to the right of the viewer, with a solemn expression on his face. The man has short hair, combed back, and a neatly trimmed mustache and goatee. He is wearing a large ruffled collar and a dark garment that appears to be buttoned down the front. The background is plain and features a decorative oval border with Latin text surrounding the figure. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held by the man. Below the oval border, there is additional Latin text framed within a rectangle.
