The image depicts an engraving of a man's upper body portrait. He is facing slightly to the right and is dressed in a detailed garment with a fur collar, patterned sleeves, and a high, lace-trimmed ruff. The man has a short beard and mustache, and his hair is neatly trimmed, covered by a hat with a decorative top and rolled edge. In front of him on a table are an open book with illustrations or text and a globe. The background within the oval frame shows a landscape with hills, trees, and a distant town or village. The oval frame is decorated with Greek letters.
