The image is a detailed half-length portrait of a man in profile facing left. He is seated and wears a hat with wide brim and folds that frame his curly hair and a thick beard. His attire includes a cloak draped over his shoulders with visible layered fabric, and he's holding a scroll or paper in his right hand. There is no visible jewelry. The background of the image is a simple, empty interior space. The portrait is part of a printed document, which includes large headings at the top and columns of text below the image.
