The image displays a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is positioned at a slight angle, turning his head to gaze outward. His facial features include a high forehead, arched eyebrows, a pointed nose, and a short beard and mustache. His hair is short and wavy. He is dressed in a high-necked garment with a prominent frilled collar and puffed sleeves, typical of formal attire from the period depicted. There is no visible jewelry, but the buttons of his garment are visible. The background consists of an oval frame with the Latin text "Bene agere et nil timere," along with other inscriptions indicating his age as "30" and the year as "1583." The artwork is a finely detailed black and white illustration, likely an engraving.
