The image is an engraving of a man sitting upright. He has a serious expression with distinct facial features, wearing a tall hat with a wide brim that conceals most of his hair. He is adorned with an intricate ruff collar around his neck and is dressed in a dark, fur-trimmed garment with detailed patterns. He holds a rolled paper or scroll in his hand. The background includes an oval frame with ornamental details, inscriptions, and a blank margin around the image. Below the portrait, there is an inscription and a coat of arms.
