The image depicts an engraved portrait showing the upper body of a man. He is slightly turned to his left and looking confidently at the viewer. The man has defined facial features with a mustache and a beard. His hair is styled neatly and short, receding slightly at the forehead. He is dressed in elaborate Renaissance clothing, including an ornate ruffled collar and a detailed garment. The background is plain, and the image is framed in an oval with an inscription that includes "AETA 23," indicating his age at the time of the portrait's creation.
