The image shows a detailed black and white circular engraving of a man's bust. The man is depicted from the shoulders up, with his body facing slightly to the side while his head is turned towards the viewer. He has a refined face with a thin mustache and a small beard. His hair is short to medium in length, styled upwards and back, revealing his forehead. The man wears an elaborate ruffled collar and richly textured clothing. The circle surrounding him contains intricate detailing and text. The background is plain, with the image centered on a cream-colored paper with a slightly rough texture.
