This is a portrait engraving of a young man visible from the waist up. He is facing toward the viewer with his body slightly angled to the right. His facial features include a youthful, smooth complexion with prominent cheekbones and a calm expression. He has straight, chin-length hair that frames his face evenly. The young man is wearing an elaborately detailed outfit, featuring a high lace collar and a buttoned doublet with intricate patterns and textures. No jewelry or objects are visible on him. The background consists of a simple, dark, oval frame around the portrait, with Latin text decorating the frame.
