The image is an etching of a man shown from the chest up, facing slightly to the viewer's right with a direct gaze. He has a full, curly beard and mustache, styled hair with a cap adorned with a large feather. The man wears a high ruff and a detailed jacket with buttons and a medallion hanging from a cord around his neck. The background features a textured design with a Latin inscription surrounding the oval frame that encircles the man's portrait.
