The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up, positioned in a three-quarter view facing left. He has distinct facial features, including a pointed moustache and a short beard. His hair is medium length, seemingly wavy, and brushed forward. The man is dressed in a detailed garment featuring a fitted bodice with buttons on the sleeve, a wide lace collar, and patterned textures. He is holding a spherical object in his left hand. The background consists of an ornate oval frame with elaborate scrolls and a globe depicted at the top. Latin inscriptions surround the frame, adding a scholarly context to the image. The artwork is engraved and displays a high level of detail in the clothing and facial features of the subject as well as the framing elements.
