The image shows a portrait of a man displayed from the chest upwards, facing the viewer. He has a prominent forehead, arched eyebrows, deep-set eyes, a full mustache and beard, and short hair in a receding hairline. He is wearing a dark garment with a white, ruffled collar that reaches up to his ears. The background includes an oval frame with decorative text surrounding the portrait and elaborately written Latin text beneath the frame. The style of the image suggests an etching or engraving with fine detail.
