The image shows an engraved portrait of a man facing forward with his head turned slightly to the right. The man has a wide nose, a short mustache, and his eyes are looking at the viewer. His hair is styled in a short wavy fringe and he is dressed in historical attire with a high collar and padded sleeves. The background features an oval frame with a cross-hatched pattern and below the oval, there is text that reads "Vera Effiges Johannis Bate: Memoria manet, modo permaneat Studium et industria."
