The image shows a waist-up portrait of a person with long, curly hair, seen in profile with their body slightly turned to the side. They are dressed in a loose robe, have a prominent nose, and are looking towards the right. The person's right hand is raised near their chest, while the left hand rests on a surface in front of them. The background features an oval border framing the portrait. The name "DANIEL" is inscribed above the person within the oval, and there is Latin text around the border. The image is rendered in a monochromatic, etched style.
