The image is an engraved portrait of a man from the chest up. The man is facing slightly to the right, with long, dark wavy hair and distinguishable facial features. He wears a dark cloak or robe with a white shirt visible underneath. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects in his hands. The background is a plain, light-colored surface. The border around the oval portrait includes additional text with the man's name and details about the engraving.
