The image depicts a bust-length portrait of a man, shown from the chest up. He is positioned slightly angled to the right, looking directly at the viewer. The man has distinctive sharp facial features, including a long flowing beard and a mustache. His hair is covered by a cap, and he is wearing ecclesiastical clothing, including a dark high-collared garment and a ruff around his neck. Printed texts in Latin are present on the bottom section, along with an oval border surrounding the portrait, and decorative heraldic shields above and below the portrait. The image is set against a deep black stippled background.
