The image shows a detailed engraving featuring the upper body of a man in a formal portrait. He is facing slightly left, looking directly at the viewer. He has a mustache and pointed beard, with short, curly hair. The man wears a richly decorated garment, a brooch, and a large lace ruff around his neck. The background is dark, with an oval frame around the figure, embellished with patterns and inscriptions. More text surrounds the outer part, possibly a dedication.
