The image is an engraved portrait showing an upper-body view of a man in a formal pose. His head is slightly turned to the right, and his gaze is directed at the viewer. The man has wavy, shoulder-length hair that is parted in the middle, framing his face. His facial features are delicately defined, with slender eyebrows, a long nose, and full lips. He wears an elaborate outfit typical of historical aristocracy, featuring a richly adorned cloak fastened with a chain, over a garment with a lace collar. A necklace with a pendant hangs prominently on his chest. The portrait is encased in an oval frame that is part of the engraving, and the background is dark with a hatched texture. Beneath the image, there is a caption with text identifying the individual as Charles II, Duke of Mantua and other titles.
