This is an engraved portrait depicting the upper body of a man. The man is facing slightly to the right with his head turned towards the viewer in a three-quarter profile. He has well-defined facial features, including a narrow nose, focused eyes, and a subtle mustache and beard. His hair is styled back with an ornate headdress, and he is wearing a large lace ruffled collar around his neck. He is dressed in a textured garment with vertical stripes and buttons on the shoulders. The background features a hatched pattern and decorative borders, with an inscription panel below the portrait.
