The image shows an engraving of a man depicted from the waist up. He is positioned slightly turned to the right but facing the observer. The man's facial features include a prominent nose, slightly puffy cheeks, and calm, focused eyes. He has long, slightly wavy hair that extends to his shoulders and wears a close-fitting cap covering the top of his head. His attire consists of a dark garment with a large, white flanged collar and a sash across his chest, along with a decorative star emblem on his shoulder. No visible jewelry or objects are being held by the person. The background presents an ornate design, with a wreath of leaves encircling the upper part of the image and flowing ribbons incorporated into the design. Below the portrait, there is a decorative crest or coat of arms featuring two lions and a detailed emblem.
