The engraving portrays a man seated at a desk. He is positioned angled towards the left, his left hand on an open book and his right hand holding a quill pen as if writing. The man has a serious expression, a long, pointed beard, straight hair covered with a cap, and is dressed in a fur-trimmed robe over a collared garment. There are two books in front of him, one open and one closed. The background features an oval frame filled with text identifying him as a doctor of theology and scholar, surrounded by geometric patterns. Latin inscriptions and decorative borders adorn the frame, adding to the formal and scholarly atmosphere of the portrait.
