The image shows a portrait engraving of a man in a three-quarter view. He wears a broad-brimmed hat and a richly embroidered robe with a high, ornate, white ruff around his neck. His facial features include a short, trimmed beard and mustache, and he appears to be middle-aged with a composed expression. His hair is relatively long, dark, and slightly wavy, peeking out from under the hat. The background is plain, with a cursive text below the portrait on the mat reading "frt. verulom ca." The image is on pale paper with a few small age blemishes and spots.
