The image is a portrait showing the upper half of a man's body. The man's face is slightly elongated with prominent cheekbones, a straight nose, and a small chin. His shoulder-length, wavy hair is parted in the middle. He is dressed in formal attire with a wide collar and a patterned garment over his shoulder. He wears a cross-shaped piece of jewelry around his neck. The background is an oval frame containing a decorative emblem at the bottom, featuring intricate shield and wreath patterns. The image is rendered in a detailed, monochromatic engraving style.
