The image is a portrait engraving of a man in a three-quarter view, facing slightly to his right. The man has wavy shoulder-length hair and a well-groomed mustache and goatee. He is dressed in formal attire, featuring a dark doublet with intricate detailing and a large, decorative lace collar. The border of the engraving contains an inscription around the oval frame that identifies the subject. The background of the image consists of a fine, cross-hatched texture. No jewelry or objects are visible, and the overall setting is simple.
