This engraving depicts a bust-length image of an individual in a regal pose, viewed from the side. The person is wearing a richly adorned crown and has a straight, prominent nose, with closely cropped hair, high cheekbones, and a defined chin. The facial expression is stern yet composed. The individual is dressed in a decorated robe with an intricate pattern and a fur-lined collar. Around the neck is a substantial, ornamental chain with medallions, and a decorative orb is held in one hand, while the other hand grasps a scepter. The background consists of an ornate frame with inscriptions. Regal symbols are seen around the frame, including shields and scrolls intertwined with decorative heraldry. The bottom of the image includes additional textual information about the depicted figure's reign and legacy.
