The image features an engraved portrait of a man from the chest up, slightly turned to his right. He has distinct features, including a broad nose and full cheeks, and curly shoulder-length hair with a small cap. The man is dressed in a formal 17th-century European garment, consisting of a dark coat and a wide white collar. The robe's sleeves are voluminous and ornate. The portrait is surrounded by an ornate frame with an inscription. Below the frame is a decorative coat of arms with a shield and floral patterns. The background has a detailed engraved halo-effect pattern.
