The image shows an upper-body portrait of a man facing forward with his head turned slightly to his left. The man has a serious expression and sharp facial features, including a strong brow line, a prominent nose, and defined cheekbones. His hair is neatly styled with loose waves and he appears to be wearing a cap. The man wears formal attire typical of the time, including a dark robe with a broad white collar, and is holding a small book. The portrait is surrounded by an oval frame with intricate detailing against a shaded background. Below the image is an inscription in Latin and an emblem with a coat of arms featuring a lion and stylized designs. The composition is meticulously engraved, providing a textured appearance.
