The image is an engraved portrait of a person displaying their upper torso. The person is positioned facing forward, slightly turned to their left, with their body about three-quarters visible. They have a rounded face with distinct features, such as a prominent nose and full lips, and their hair is curly and shoulder-length. They wear a dark, buttoned-up garment with a wide, white collar. The background is an oval frame within a rectangular engraving, with intricate scripting around the person's portrait that identifies them. Below the oval frame is an ornate coat of arms.
