The image is an engraved portrait showing the upper half of Sir Walter Raleigh in historical attire. Raleigh is gazing directly at the viewer, with a moustache and goatee, wearing a patterned doublet, ornate lace collars, and cuffs. His right hand rests on a globe with a baton. The background has a textured pattern and features two coats of arms on the right. An inscribed Latin phrase is at the top, and to the left is an inset roundel showing a portrait labeled "K.Will.I. Conq." The engraving is surrounded by descriptive text detailing the artwork title and the engraver's name.
