This is an engraving of a man from the waist up, facing slightly to the right but gazing directly at the viewer. The man has sharp eyes, a prominent nose, and a well-groomed mustache and goatee. His hair is short and curly or wavy. He wears elaborate clothing with a ruffled collar, ornate embroidery, a decorative sash, and regal accessories such as a staff, chain, and medallion. The background is adorned with ribbons and scrolling designs, with an inscription identifying the man as Sir William Segar. Above his head is a crest with two ravens and a shield. The image is set within an oval frame with intricate design work surrounding it.
