The image depicts a man in a portrait from the waist up, facing forward with his body slightly turned to his right. He has a neat beard and mustache, short, combed hair, and is wearing a high-collared garment with detailed designs or embroidery. He holds a small book in his right hand. The background features an ornate oval frame surrounding his bust, with scrollwork and Latin text around and beneath the portrait. Small shelves with books are in the lower corners for additional scholarly elements.
