The image shows an engraving of a historical figure depicted from the mid-chest upwards. The figure is facing slightly to the right with their head turned towards the viewer. They have distinct facial features such as sharp eyebrows and a straight nose, with shoulder-length wavy hair framing their face. The person is wearing an ornate outfit with decorative armor and a large lace collar draped over their shoulders. There are no visible objects or jewelry in their hands. The background is a solid dark color, and the portrayal is surrounded by an oval border containing identifying text. Below the oval frame, there is a detailed crest with floral elements and a crown.
