The image shows a portrait of a man facing forward. He has sharp, defined facial features, deep-set eyes, and a serious expression. His long, wavy hair falls past his shoulders with a fringe covering his forehead. The man wears a dark, formal robe over a white, collared shirt. Around him is an oval frame with decorative ribbons on each side. The background inside the oval is dark, contrasting against the man and the lower portion of the image includes text stating "Johannes Seldenus" and printing information.
