The image depicts a man from the waist up. He is facing forward with his upper body slightly angled and his head turned to the side. His facial features include a prominent brow, deeply set eyes, a straight nose, and a full beard with a mustache. His hair is short and neat with a distinguished hairline. The man is wearing a high, pleated ruff collar, a fur-lined coat, and a buttoned garment underneath. He holds a small book in one hand and a realistic mask resembling an animal's head in the other. The background is a plain backdrop. An inscription in Latin is at the top, with additional text at the bottom.
