The image is a portrait engraving showing the upper half of a man's body. The man is in a three-quarter position, facing slightly to the right while making direct eye contact with the viewer. He has a prominent mustache and well-styled hair that appears wavy. The man is clad in ornate armor with intricate designs and embellishments. His attire includes a high-collared undershirt visible underneath the armor. The background is filled with fine horizontal lines, creating an engraved texture. At the top, the name “Mᵀˢ LE DVC DANIOV” is inscribed, and below the portrait is a section with block text. The overall image is framed with a simple border, and there is a handwritten number, "68," in the top right corner of the paper.
