The image is an engraved portrait of Johannes Ogilvius, depicted from the chest up. He is facing slightly to the right, with his head turned towards the viewer. He has a long, prominent nose, full lips, and deep-set eyes. His hair is long and wavy, reaching his shoulders. Ogilvius wears a dark, collared robe with horizontal lines, and he is holding a medallion or coin in his right hand with a profile image. There is no visible jewelry. The background has intricate line work, with the portrait set within an oval frame. Below the oval is a curtain-like design with the engraving's title, "JOHANNES OGILVIUS," the artist's name, "Guil: Marshall fecit," and the year "1649" at the bottom.
