The image shows a bust engraving of a man, depicted from the chest up. He is portrayed in a three-quarter view angle, facing slightly to his left. The man has prominent facial features including high cheekbones, a straight nose, and deep-set eyes. His hair is combed back, and he sports a full, neatly-trimmed beard with a mustache. He is wearing a high-collared garment with intricate detailing, including a scalloped lace collar and a decorative pattern on the shoulders. A wide-brimmed hat adorned with a plume sits atop his head. The background is a simple, textural design, likely part of the engraving style, and the entire image is contained within an oval frame. Below the portrait, text identifies the subject as Robert Dudley, Earle of Leicester.
