The image depicts the upper body of a man facing slightly left. His head is turned towards the front, showing his facial features. The man has a smooth expression with large, almond-shaped eyes, a high forehead, and long, wavy hair falling past his shoulders. He is wearing a dark garment with a white collar, typical of 17th-century fashion. The portrait is enclosed in an oval frame within a larger rectangular frame, with patterns in the background. Below the image is an inscription in Latin introducing the man as "Franciscus Mothaeus Vayerius" with his titles. The image has a monochrome appearance resembling an engraved print.
