The image shows an engraving of a man positioned slightly turned to his right, holding a piece of paper in his left hand. The man has a distinctive beard, mustache, closely cut hair combed back, and wears an ornate doublet with a high ruff around his neck typical of the late 16th to early 17th century. The background features a lined pattern, with books on a table in front of him, a stack of two books with visible title pages, and one book standing upright. A sheet of paper with handwritten text and an engraving tool are beside him. Latin text at the top and bottom provides details, including the date of the depiction.
