The man has a slight smile on his face. He wears a cloak around his shoulders. There is a small image of another man's head below the main image. There are several lines of text on the image. The text at the top reads "ERASMVS ROTERODAMVS". There is a line of text beside the man's head. There are two blocks of text below the man's image, one on the left and one on the right. The block on the left reads "DER TOD IST DER DING". The block on the right reads "DIE LEST LINI ICH WEICH KAIM". There is a rectangle below the small image of the man's head with text that reads "MARCK STAIN". The background of the image is off-white with darker areas that resemble texture or shadows.
