The image shows an engraved portrait of a man's upper body. He is positioned at a slight angle, facing slightly to the left, with his hands visible, one of which appears to be holding a cylindrical object resembling a scroll. His facial features include prominent cheekbones, a faintly furrowed brow, and a serious expression. He has thin, wispy hair, slicked back, and a short, full beard with a thread of white. The man is wearing a fur-trimmed robe with a large, ornate ruff around his neck. Surrounding the oval-framed portrait is a decorative pattern of ribbons and banners showcasing Latin text. Below the portrait is a crest set on top of books. The background features intricate line patterns, focusing attention on the detailed depiction of the man’s face and attire.
