The image is an engraving depicting an upper body portrait of a man. He is facing forward with his upper body slightly turned to his left. The man has a long narrow face with a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, thin lips, and shoulder-length, wavy hair.

The portrait is within an oval frame on a wall, with a plinth below it that bears an inscription: 'FRANCISCVS. MOTHAEVS VAYERIVS REGI A CONSILIS FRATRIQVE EIVS VNICO A STVDIIS. 1661'.
