The image shows an engraving of a man depicted from the waist up, positioned within an ornate oval frame. He is facing slightly to the left while holding a staff or baton in his left hand. The man's facial features include a prominent mustache and a pointed beard, and he has wavy, shoulder-length hair. He is dressed in rich attire, featuring a detailed, high-collared lace ruff and a decorative, armorial vest. The ornate frame surrounding him is embellished with floral and scroll motifs, and at the top, there is a design resembling a mythological creature with a gaping mouth. The background outside the frame is filled with intricate designs, and more floral motifs can be seen at the bottom, where a banner displays Latin text.
