The image shows an engraved portrait of a man in profile view from the waist up. He has a long white beard, short hair, and wears a patterned robe with layered sleeves. His left hand is gesturing, and his right hand holds a writing implement over a surface. The background includes a circular border with inscriptions and Latin text, set against a finely hatched texture.
