The image is a portrait engraving showing the upper body of a man turned slightly to his left. He is depicted in a formal pose with an expression of composed confidence. The man has a prominent mustache and goatee, with wavy hair that is styled upwards and slightly back. He is wearing an elaborately large ruffled neck collar, along with a buttoned garment featuring a vertical row of ornate buttons and a smooth, glossy texture. Surrounding him is a decorative border with the name "LE DVC DE IOYEUSE" inscribed at the top. The background of the portrait is plain. Beneath the portrait, there is a decorative border with cursive script text.
