The image is a detailed portrait etching showing the head and upper shoulders of an older man. The man is positioned facing slightly to the right, but his eyes are directed towards the viewer. His facial features reveal a prominent brow, deep-set eyes, and a full beard connecting to a mustache covering his upper lip. His hair appears thin and recedes from the forehead, with visible detailing of individual hairs. The man wears a garment with a high collar, beneath which is a pleated fabric. The background features a cross-hatched pattern. There is no visible jewelry or objects held by the man in the portrait.
