The image is an engraving of a man, likely Ignatius of Loyola, in a three-quarter view facing left. His facial features include a prominent forehead, high cheekbones, closely shaved scalp with a fringe of hair, mustache, and chin beard. He appears contemplative with deep-set eyes, dressed in a high-collared religious habit. The background features an oval frame with Latin inscriptions and symbolic imagery, including a light-filled shape near his head. Surrounding the portrait are four scenes: one of a figure praying, one of a man in bed with a celestial figure above, and two with religious iconography. The image has a classical, formal appearance with intricate detailing typical of historical engravings.
