The image shows an engraved portrait of a man with a bust view. He is facing the viewer with his body slightly angled to the right. The man has a high forehead, prominent cheekbones, and a subtle smile. He has medium-length wavy hair that falls to his shoulders. He is wearing a dark robe with an intricately detailed buttoned vest, a wide white collar, and no visible jewelry. The background is plain with ornate framing elements, including a coat of arms and Latin inscriptions.
