The image is a portrait showing a man from the waist up. The man is positioned slightly turned to his left, looking directly at the viewer. He has shoulder-length wavy hair, parted in the middle, and a distinct mustache. He is wearing a dark, textured garment with a wide collar and a cloak draped over his left shoulder. His right hand is visible, resting at his waist. In the background, there is a plain surface with a coat of arms depicting a diagonal stripe between two crescents and a lion. Below the portrait, there is a section with text. The image is rendered in a monochrome etching style.
