The image displays a seated man in an oval frame. The man faces forward, holding a book with hands resting in front of him. He has a round face, a prominent nose, slightly downturned lips, and eyes looking straight at the viewer. He wears a cap, a large collar, and dark robe-like clothing. The background contains textured line work and books with labels like "SCHOLAST" and "PARES." Latin inscriptions surround the portrait, providing information about the subject and the artwork.
