This engraving depicts a man with a pointed beard and mustache, wearing a large crown adorned with jewels. He has a sharp nose and deep-set eyes that look out at us. He is dressed in royal attire with a lace ruff, fur-trimmed robe, and a decorative collar. The man holds a scepter and an orb, both embellished with jewels. The image is surrounded by an emblematic border with inscriptions and a coat of arms at the bottom.
