The image shows the upper half of an older man positioned facing slightly to the viewer's right but looking directly at the viewer. He has a prominent nose, a curled mustache, and a short goatee. His hair is waved and reaches just above the shoulders, and he is wearing a small cap on his head. The man is dressed in a dark garment with a high, white, ruffled collar, and a large, ornate pendant hanging from a chain around his neck. The background consists of an oval frame with engraved patterns and Latin text encircling the portrait, along with additional text beneath it. The image appears to be a finely detailed engraving, typical of formal historical portraiture.
