The image depicts an engraved portrait of a figure from the waist up, seated in a formal and frontal pose. The individual has soft facial features with an oval face, straight nose, and prominent eyes. His hair is styled with curls, slightly parted in the middle. He is dressed in a historical attire with a lace collar and ornate fabric. He wears a circular medallion around his neck on a ribbon and holds decorative gloves near his waist with his right hand. The background features an oval frame with swirling patterns and inscriptions surrounding the figure. Textual elements and symbols, including a coat of arms, are visible on the outer edges of the frame and plain background outside the frame.
