They have an oval-shaped face with prominent features, including a pronounced nose and lips. The person wears a wide-brimmed hat with a large feather and a detailed jacket with light and dark vertical stripes. They have a high-collared lace shirt with a prominent lace edge. The figure is enclosed within an oval frame with surrounding text and a finely hatched background. The bottom of the image features a decorative border with text. The style resembles a classical engraving technique.
