The image is an engraved portrait of a man shown from the waist up. He is seated facing slightly to the right, with his body angled towards the viewer. The man's facial features are detailed, including a distinctive forehead, deep-set eyes, a high-bridged nose, and thin lips. His hair is short and neatly styled. He is wearing a richly adorned gown with a fur-lined collar, a high lace ruff encircling his neck, and holds a piece of fabric with his right hand, showcasing an intricate coat of arms. He wears a chain with a medallion around his neck. The background features ornate, decorative patterns with large heraldic crests in the upper corners. Latin text is inscribed around the oval frame enclosing his portrait, and at the bottom, the date "1639" is displayed.
