The image shows an engraving of the upper torso and head of a man seated, facing forward with a slight leftward turn of his head. The man has a serious expression with distinct facial features, including a prominent nose, thin lips, and long, wavy hair falling to his shoulders. He wears a cap with a circular badge featuring a floral motif, and ornate clothing with fur lining, detailed embroidery, and a brooch. In his right hand, he holds a scepter, and in his left, an orb topped with a cross. The background is an oval frame with Latin text, floral motifs, and a crown. Below the portrait is a coat of arms and English text identifying the person as Henry the Seventh, King of England.
