The image shows a man seated from the waist up. He has a mustache, beard, high forehead, and short, neatly combed back hair. He is dressed in formal or religious attire with a high collar and a dark coat, holding a small, rectangular book. A ring is visible on one of his fingers. The portrait is framed in an oval with detailed inscriptions, lions in the top corners, and a Latin inscription at the bottom. In the background, outside the oval frame, there is an illustration of a hand holding a candle on the right and an open book or manuscript on the left.
