This is a portrait engraving depicting the upper half of a man's body facing directly towards the viewer. He has long, wavy hair reaching just above the shoulders, parted in the middle, along with facial features such as defined brows and a subtle smile. The man wears a dark robe with a wide, white collar and a cross pendant on a chain around his neck. The portrait is enclosed in an ornate oval frame with inscriptions, and there is an emblem or coat of arms below the image. The background is textured with parallel lines.
