The image shows a man from the waist up, sitting at a desk. He is facing slightly to his left, with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has distinct facial features and is dressed in clothing typical of the period. He is writing with a quill pen on a piece of paper, with books on the desk around him. The background is decorative, with a framed oval surrounding his head and an eagle holding a ribbon above it. Latin text surrounds the frame, and additional text is inscribed below the image.
