The image shows a man seated and turned slightly to the right, with a solemn expression. He has distinctive facial features, a mustache, and wears period-appropriate clothing, including a robe with a pleated ruff. He holds a closed book, with one finger between the pages. The portrait is surrounded by a circular frame with text, and below it, there is an emblem and inscribed text. The background features engraved linework providing a textured backdrop.
