The image shows an etching of a man from the waist up. He is facing slightly to his left and has distinct facial features: high forehead, arched eyebrows, prominent cheekbones, beard, mustache, and short, combed-back hair. He is wearing ornate armor with intricate designs, along with an elaborate ruff around his neck. The background includes text "FRIDERICVS II. D. G. DANIE. NORVEGIAE. & C. REX. OBIIT. A. 1588" encircling an oval border framing the image.
