The image shows a bust-length engraving of a man. He is centered in the composition, facing slightly to the viewer’s right with his head turned forward. The man has a mature expression with distinct facial features, including a narrow face, high forehead, prominent cheekbones, and a pointed goatee and mustache. His hair is wavy and of medium length, covering his ears and sides. He is wearing a clerical or formal garment with a collar and buttons down the front. A large circular medallion hangs from his collar. The background features an oval frame around the figure, with a heraldic shield below it, bordered by decorative elements. The backdrop has evenly spaced horizontal lines.
