The image is a detailed portrait engraving of a man's upper body. He is facing slightly to his right with his head turned toward the viewer. The man has distinct facial features, including a long, slightly upturned nose, a subtle smile, and wrinkles around his eyes. He has shoulder-length, wavy hair that is neatly combed back. The man is wearing formal ecclesiastical clothing, with a clerical collar visible above a dark robe. He is wearing a large cross around his neck on a chain. The portrait is framed by an ornate oval frame with Latin text surrounding the image. The lower centerpiece of the frame features a coat of arms with a shield and a ceremonial hat. The background of the frame consists of fine engraved lines.
