The image is an engraving of a bust-length portrait of a man in an oval frame. The man's head and upper torso are visible, with his body slightly turned towards his right, yet his face looks at the viewer. He has a gentle expression, with defined facial features including a mustache and small goatee. His hair is wavy and shoulder-length, and he wears a small cap. He is dressed in a lined garment over a richly textured, fur-collared cloak. Around his neck, there appears to be a bow-tied lace. Beneath the frame, a coat of arms with intricate design and lion figures flanking it is visible. The background of the image features a pattern of vertical lines.
