The image is an engraved portrait of the upper half of a man's body. The man is seated in a forward-facing position with his head slightly turned to his left, looking directly at the viewer. His facial features include a high forehead, arched eyebrows, medium-length narrow nose, and a trimmed mustache and goatee. He has short-cropped hair, parted on one side. He is dressed in a high-collared garment with an intricately detailed, ruffled collar around his neck. The garment appears to be a cloak or robe. The man holds a rolled-up object in his left hand. Around him is an ornate oval frame with Latin inscriptions forming a border. In the background, a lined pattern adds texture, with no specific scene or location depicted.
