The image is a portrait of Erasmus of Rotterdam, displaying his upper body and head in profile, facing right. It shows his distinguished forehead, prominent nose, and pronounced chin. He wears a soft cap, partially covering his hair, with a few strands visible. Erasmus is dressed in a cloak with a fur collar. There is a sculptural bust with another profile facing right with curly hair. The background includes text that says "ERASMVS ROTERODAMVS" and other inscriptions, adding to the historical and scholarly context. No jewelry or objects are visible.
