The image is an engraving showing a bust-length portrait of a man facing forward. The man wears a soft, flat cap on his head and has a long, pointed beard and a mustache. He has a stern expression in his eyes and medium-length hair covered by the cap. The man wears clothing typical of the late Renaissance period with a high ruffled collar and a dark garment. Surrounding the portrait is an oval border with text and two heraldic crests at the top. The background inside the oval is cross-hatched, while the space outside the oval contains text and shows signs of aging with visible foxing and staining on the paper.
