The image shows an engraving of an upper body portrait of a man in an oval frame. The man is turned slightly to his left, looking directly at the viewer. He has a mustache and a small beard beneath his lower lip. His hair is dark, neatly styled, and parted in the middle, with curls framing his face. He is wearing an ornate outfit with a high lace collar, patterns on his cloak, and a sash across his chest. An ornate coat of arms is above his head within the oval frame, and text surrounds the frame. The background consists of crosshatching, typical of engraved portraits.
