The image is an engraved portrait showing the upper half of a man's body. He is depicted in a three-quarter pose, with his body slightly turned to the viewer's left while his head faces forward. The man has a well-groomed beard and mustache, with short, neatly styled hair. He wears an elaborate, intricately detailed armored suit with decorative engravings, and a high ruffled collar adding to the opulence of his attire. In his left hand, he holds a helmet adorned with ornate designs. The background features a hilly landscape with various military activities depicted, including tents, soldiers, and a fortified structure. An insignia with a knight figure is present in the upper right corner of the image.
