The image features an engraving of a man portrayed from the chest up, facing forward with his head slightly turned to the right. He has a pointed beard, mustache, high forehead, short wavy hair, and is wearing formal attire with a high white collar and a dark doublet with intricate buttons. Surrounding him are cherubic figures; two on each side of an oval frame holding a laurel wreath above his head, and a cherub below holds a shield with a map or chart while another cherub beside him is holding a fan-like object. The background is ornately engraved, providing texture to the image. Below the portrait is a decorative plaque with French inscription.
