The image is an engraving of a man shown from the waist up. He is positioned frontally and gazes directly at the viewer. His facial features include a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, a receding hairline, and prominent eyebrows. He wears a large ruff around his neck, a richly adorned garment with floral patterns, and a cape draped from his shoulders. A chain with a large medallion hangs down the center of his chest. The background features elaborate scrollwork, inscriptions framing the figure, and a crest at the top.
