The image is a portrait showing the upper half of a man's body. He is positioned in a seated or standing pose with his hands folded at the bottom of the image. The man's facial features include a prominent nose, a short and full curly beard, and a mustache. His eyes are gazing slightly to the side. He has a textured fabric cap on his head, beneath which his curly hair is visible. He wears a richly detailed garment that features a fur or similarly textured collar, with intricate decorations running down its front. The garment has a patterned texture, suggesting it is made from a luxurious fabric. Surrounding him is a textured background that seems to represent a stylized environment. The engraving includes text at the bottom, identifying him as "IMAGO ALBERTI VON DLR HELLENO" and markings of the year "1538."
