The image shows an engraved portrait of a man in an oval frame. He is facing towards the left with his head slightly turned towards the viewer. The man has curly hair, arched eyebrows, and wears a robe with a crucifix around his neck. The background features a lined pattern within the oval frame and a plain border. Below the portrait is a coat of arms with a shield and a hat with tassels, all in an engraved style.
