The image shows the upper half of a man's body within an ornate oval-shaped wreath. The man faces slightly to his left, with a pointed mustache, neatly trimmed beard, and shoulder-length wavy hair. He wears period attire with a high-collared shirt and a brooch at the throat. The wreath has fabric-like textures and berries. In the background are musical instruments and sheets of music, two frame-like ovals with scenes, and a rectangular inset of a formal indoor gathering. The background is engraved with decorative patterns.
