The image shows an engraving of a man in a bust portrait. He is positioned facing forward with his body turned slightly to the right, his right hand resting upon a sheathed sword. The man's facial features include a prominent nose, high cheekbones, a well-defined chin, and a large mustache that curls at the ends. His hair is wavy and receding. He wears a detailed, ruffled collar and a cloak, suggesting a sense of nobility or high status. The background consists of etched lines that create a subtle gradient effect, emphasizing the figure's prominence within an oval frame. Latin text encircles the border of the oval.
