The image shows a detailed black-and-white engraving of a man's upper body. He is facing forward, with distinct facial features including full lips and a serene expression. The man has long, curly hair flowing over his shoulders and is wearing ornate armor, a lace cravat, and an embellished brooch. The engraving is enclosed in an oval frame adorned with laurel leaves and decorative elements. Below the man, an emblem features a hand holding scales emerging from clouds, with the Latin text "ensis Potior Sceptro." The background consists of an etched pattern.
