The image shows an engraved portrait of a man. The man is positioned facing forward, displaying his upper torso up to just below the shoulders. His features include a prominent nose, defined cheekbones, and a small mustache with a tuft of hair on his chin. He has long, wavy hair that falls past his shoulders. He is dressed in a formal suit from an earlier era with a white collared shirt, a decorative cravat, and a buttoned-up vest. The background is a textured dark oval frame. Below the image, there is text in an old-fashioned style written as a verse.
