The image is a portrait of a man. He is positioned slightly turned to his left but looking directly at the viewer, with facial features including a prominent nose, a trimmed mustache, and gentle smile lines. He has wavy, medium-length hair. The man is wearing a clerical robe with a broad white collar and a skullcap on his head. He has a chain with a large cross pendant around his neck. The portrait is framed within an oval border with inscriptions in Latin. The background has a subtle pattern, contrasting with the detailed engraving of the man. The bottom of the frame features a coat of arms.
