The image is an illustration of a man from the chest up. He is facing forward with his head slightly tilted to the right. The man has prominent eyes, a straight nose, pursed lips, a thin mustache, and wavy hair styled upwards and to the side. He is wearing a large ruff collar with lace details typical of the time. The man's attire is textured, suggesting a patterned fabric. The background includes an oval frame with the name "WILLIAM DRUMMOND" and his birth and death dates.
