The image is an engraving showing a bust-length portrait of a man within an oval frame. The man is positioned facing slightly to his left while looking towards the viewer. His facial features include a long, narrow face with prominent cheekbones, a sharp nose, and full lips. His hair is long, reaching past his shoulders, and is wavy and parted in the middle. He wears a dark garment with a high collar, possibly a cloak, that is draped over his shoulders, along with a lace cravat at his neck. The frame around him is elaborate, with text encircling the inner edge of the oval. Below the oval is a depiction of a small cherub and a decorative band. The background within the oval is dark and textured, creating a contrast with the man's lighter complexion, while outside the oval, a lined pattern fills the space.
