The image shows a man from the waist up. He is slightly turned to the side, looking at the viewer. The man has a bearded face with an angular jawline and prominent cheekbones. He wears a hat that covers his hair. His attire seems historical, including a coat with a fur or plush collar, a buttoned jacket, and a high-collared ruffled shirt. His right hand is raised, holding a book or a document near his chest. The background has a patterned texture, and at the bottom, there is a decorative border with an inscription identifying him as "EDOVARDVS DERINGVS" with additional text below.
