This illustration depicts the upper body of a man in a regal pose. He is facing forward with a slight turn to one side. The man has a long, pointed nose, prominent eyes, a short, full beard, neatly styled hair under a wide-brimmed hat with plumes and decorations. He wears elaborate royal clothing including a dark doublet with ornate patterns, a high collar, adorned with jewels and embroidery. He wears a cape with floral patterns draped over his shoulders. The man holds an orb in one hand and a scepter in the other. In the background, there is an inscription identifying him as a high-ranking prince and a coat of arms in the top right corner.
