The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up, posed in a thoughtful manner with his left cheek on his hand, leaning on a table. The man has prominent facial features with a long, pointed beard and mustache. His hair appears medium length and wavy. He is wearing a detailed coat with a fur collar and patterned sleeves, along with a high white ruffled collar. The man is seated, with his other hand on the table. The background has textured linework, and the words "PHILOSO-PHEMUR" are faintly visible. A round emblem with a heart and key design is at the bottom. The engraving "CLAVEM CLGORVT" is on the emblem. The artist's inscription "W-Dolle-F." is at the bottom right.
