The image is a portrait of a man shown from the chest up. He is positioned facing forward but slightly turned to his left. The man has a solemn expression with distinct facial features including a mustache and a goatee. His hair is long and curly, reaching down to his collar. He is dressed in a traditional dark robe with a prominent white square collar characteristic of the period fashion. The background features an ornate oval frame with Latin inscriptions encircling the portrait and an intricate coat of arms at the bottom. The background beyond the frame consists of fine vertical lines, enhancing the formal and classical appearance of the engraving.
