The image is a portrait of a man shown from the chest up. He is positioned in a three-quarter view, turning slightly to his right with a calm expression. His facial features include a prominent nose, lightly arched eyebrows, and lips forming a gentle smile. His hair is medium length, slightly wavy, falling around his ears. He wears a collar with a buttoned cassock and a cross-shaped pendant on a chain around his neck. The background shows a decorative oval frame with Latin text engraved around the inner edge and an ornate heraldic emblem below the portrait. The overall background consists of precise lines and shading typical of detailed engravings.
