His hair is short and wavy, framing his face. He wears an outfit with a high collar, buttons, and decorative patterns on the sleeves. The man holds a pointed instrument in his right hand and a square object with a patterned cover in his left hand. The background features mythological creatures and ornate decorations. An inscription in cursive script is at the bottom of the image. The composition is in a monochromatic palette with detailed line work typical of an engraving.
