The image is an engraved portrait of three figures in an oval frame. The central figure is a young boy with short curly hair, wearing a ruffled shirt. Behind him, a woman on the left has an elaborate hairstyle and wears a dress with a ruffled collar, possibly adorned with jewelry. To her right is a man with combed-back hair, dressed in a patterned outfit. The frame is ornate with flowers and foliage motifs, along with ancient Roman or Greek architectural elements. Below the portrait is a rectangular cartouche with text quoting Seneca. The background features a textured design.
