The image shows an engraving of a man's bust, facing forward with his body turned slightly to his left. He has a beard, mustache, high forehead, deep-set eyes, and short, combed-back hair. He is wearing a high, elaborate ruffled collar over a fur-trimmed garment. The background features intricate engravings, including a frame with Latin text around the portrait and ornate decorations below with garlands and architectural elements. An angelic cherub is depicted in the border above his head.
