The image depicts a man from the waist up, facing the viewer with his body slightly angled to the right. The man has an aged face with a beard and mustache, wearing a crown with spherical decorations, and curly hair extending from beneath it. He is dressed in Roman armor with intricate designs on the shoulder piece, holding a sword upwards in his right hand. The background features ornate decorations including a crest with lions and Latin text framing his portrait as well as text below detailing historical achievements and life events. The scene is presented on aged, yellowed paper that appears to be an engraved illustration.
