The image is a portrait of a person from the chest upwards. The person is facing slightly to the right but looking directly at the viewer with a composed expression. He has a moustache, beard, and curly, shoulder-length hair. The attire is elaborate with a dark, buttoned garment and a large lace ruff around the neck. Strands of beads or pearls drape down the front of his clothing. The background is a textured, dark space, and the oval frame surrounding the portrait has text at the top reading "CRUX FIDEI" and at the bottom "COTTA CULA." The style of the artwork appears to be an engraving or an etching.
