The image is an engraved portrait of a man showing him from the waist up. He is positioned slightly sideways, with his head turned toward the viewer. The man has facial hair including a mustache and a pointed goatee. His hair is short and appears to be grey or light brown, neatly styled. He is wearing a formal outfit with a ruffled collar, a dark overcoat with decorative buttons. In his hand, he is holding a small rolled-up piece of paper. There is no visible jewelry. The background of the engraving has parallel lines on one side and a darker, stippled pattern on the other. There is a handwritten inscription and date at the top, and a Latin text below the image.
