The image is an engraved portrait showing the upper body of a man facing slightly to his right while looking over his left shoulder towards the viewer. The man has a pointed mustache, a well-defined nose, and curly hair. He is clad in a garment with a high collar and is not holding any objects. Below him is a carved pedestal with classical motifs, two helmeted figures on each side, and a central shield adorned with decorative elements. The background consists of engraved clouds that blend with the figure's hair. The name "ANT. VAN DYCK" is inscribed above the central shield on the pedestal.
