Unknown Artist

This image shows an engraving of a man from the waist up. The man is facing forward with his body slightly angled. He has a composed expression with narrow eyes and large eyebrows, a prominent nose, and a short pointed beard. His hair is straight and combed back from the forehead. He is wearing elaborate clothing with a high lace collar and a dark robe over a lighter fabric. In his right hand, he holds a scroll, while his left hand lightly grasps a closed book. The background features an intricately decorated frame with cherubs and heraldic shields. Latin inscriptions are carved around the border.
