The engraving depicts a man from the chest up, facing forward with a slight turn to his right. He has a composed expression with facial features including a beard and mustache, and short, wavy hair. He wears an elaborate outfit typical of the period, featuring a decorated doublet and a lace ruff around his neck. The background consists of an oval frame with inscriptions, and there is text below the oval, possibly in Latin.
