The image is a portrait showing the upper body of a man facing slightly to the side and gazing directly at the viewer. He has curly, shoulder-length hair, a mustache, and a small pointed beard. He wears an elaborate high-collared shirt with lace details and an ornate coat or armor. The portrait is framed within an oval, surrounded by decorative elements including crossed trumpet-like objects, allegorical figures, and floral and fruit motifs. At the bottom, there is a script enclosed within a scroll design. The engraving has intricate linework and shading.
