The image shows a side profile portrait of a man from the chest up. The man is positioned facing left, with a distinguished nose, full beard, and shoulder-length wavy hair. His facial features include deep-set eyes and a rounded forehead. He wears a garment with a high collar, possibly a robe or coat with intricate patterns. The background features finely lined shading typical of an engraving. Below the image, there is a block of inscribed text in Latin, carved in a rectangular panel.
