The image is an engraved portrait of a man's upper body. He faces forward with his head slightly turned to the right. The man has a serious expression, distinctive facial features, and medium-length wavy hair under a dark cap. He wears a dark garment under a loose, lighter robe, with folded hands. There are no visible accessories or objects. The background features a textured monochromatic pattern. At the top and bottom of the image, inscriptions provide information about the person and artwork.
