The image depicts the upper part of a man's body within an ornate oval frame, labeled "RICHARDUS GETHING HERTFORDIENSIS ÆT. 32." The man is looking slightly to the left, showing his right profile. He has a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, curly closely cropped hair, and wears a detailed garment with a high collar and ruffles, as well as a buttoned jacket. To the right of the frame is an artistic representation of a hand holding a quill, suggesting writing or calligraphy. The background features calligraphic flourishes and text.
