The image shows a portrait engraving of a man from the waist up. He is facing slightly to the left, with one hand on his chest. The man has an elongated face, arched eyebrows, a slight mustache, and chin-length wavy hair. He wears a formal period garment with a wide collar, buttons down the front, and a circular pendant around his neck. The background features trees, a path, and a drawn-back curtain. The border includes inscriptions in Latin, and a poetic verse is below the portrait.
