The image is an engraving of a man's upper torso. He is turned slightly to the left, holding a long paddle-like object in his right hand. The man has a long, full beard and mustache, wavy hair, and a furrowed brow. He is dressed in a draped garment, possibly a toga, fastened with a brooch. The oval-framed image includes two cherubic figures above the man and illustrations of sea creatures at the bottom corners. The background is densely hatched, with a Latin inscription circling the oval border and a passage of text at the bottom.
