The image shows an engraved portrait of a man in three-quarter view. He is depicted facing slightly to the right, with aristocratic facial features including a high forehead, sharp nose, a small mustache and beard. His hair is wavy and medium length, styled neatly. He wears an Elizabethan-style ruffled collar, a decorated doublet with small buttons and an ornate fabric pattern. A pendant with intricate detailing hangs around his neck. The background is filled with detailed line work and the portrait is encased in an oval frame with text indicating his noble titles.
