National Gallery of Art

This is a portrait engraving depicting the upper half of a man facing slightly to the left but looking towards the viewer. He has defined cheekbones, a long straight nose, and lips set in a composed manner. His medium-length hair is visible under a flat cap with a circular emblem. He wears an ornate garment with detailed embroidery and fur trim, suggesting royal or noble status. He has a chain or medal around his neck. In his right hand, he holds a sceptre, and in his left hand, he grasps an orb. The background is filled with intricate linework and features an elaborate oval border framing the portrait. The image includes titles, Latin script, heraldic symbols at the top corners, and a coat of arms and English text at the bottom.
