The image shows an engraved portrait of a man from 1670. The man is depicted in an upper body view and is facing slightly to his right with a direct gaze. He has a high forehead, a long, narrow nose, and a small pointed beard. The man's hair is neatly styled and appears to be receding at the temples. He is wearing a ruff collar, an embroidered coat, and a garment with buttons or jewels. The background features an oval frame with the words "PATIENTIA" and "PRUDENS" inscribed along the border and "Anno 1670" at the top. Below the portrait, there is text and a coat of arms.
