The image shows an engraved portrait of a man facing slightly to his right, looking at the viewer. He has distinct facial features including a prominent nose and high cheekbones, wavy shoulder-length hair, and is dressed in traditional academic or clerical attire. The portrait is encased within an oval frame with Latin text around it and a coat of arms below featuring a fleur-de-lis and star. The background outside the oval frame is textured with fine lines.
