The image shows an engraved portrait of a person from the waist up. The individual is facing the viewer with a calm expression, with long, wavy hair, a broad forehead, curved eyebrows, and a relaxed mouth. They wear layered clothing and hold a rolled-up scroll with the year "1668" visible in their left hand. The background includes a tree, foliage, and a building with towers, suggesting a pastoral setting.
