This is a portrait depicting the upper half of a man's body. He is facing slightly to his left with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has distinct facial features with high cheekbones, a neatly trimmed mustache, and a goatee. His hair is short and dark. He is dressed in a garment with an exaggerated ruffled collar and a buttoned vest with four clasps. The background features cross-hatched lines, providing a textured pattern, and there is text at the top left corner and underneath the engraving.
