The image shows an engraved depiction of a man's upper body and head, facing forward slightly to his right. He has a full beard and moustache, with distinct facial features including a straight nose and a somewhat serious expression. The man is wearing a wide, rounded hat and a high-collared, fur-lined cloak over his shoulders. His clothing appears to be indicative of formal or academic wear. The background features lines for shading, typical of engraving techniques. Surrounding the portrait is an oval border with text, and additional Latin text beneath the image. The engraving appears on a textured, aged paper.
