The image is an engraving of a middle-aged man from the chest up. He is slightly turned to his left, looking at the viewer with a slight smile. He has a broad forehead, high cheekbones, a defined nose, and smiling lips. His hair is wavy and shoulder-length. He wears a clerical collar, a dark garment with buttons, and a large cross pendant on a chain around his neck. The background features an oval frame with Latin inscriptions and a decorative emblem at the bottom with a crown, shield, and hedgehog. The background has fine lines creating a textured effect.
