The engraving depicts a man with a prominent mustache and pointed beard, styled hair, and wearing a high ruff and doublet. He is holding a quill pen, within an ornate frame inscribed with "LINGUA PENNA MENTIS MUETA" in Latin. The frame includes scrolls and a coat of arms, with a date of 1651 and a poetic verse below the portrait. The artwork features cross-hatch shading for texture.
