The image is an engraved portrait of a man facing slightly to his right, positioned within an oval frame. The man has wavy and curly gray hair, along with a mustache and neatly trimmed beard. His expression is calm as he gazes directly at the viewer. He is dressed in an ornate, high-necked garment with a lace ruff around his neck. The background is plain, and the engraving is on aged paper with printed text below the portrait and an artist's signature within the oval.
