The image shows a man seated from the waist up facing the viewer with his right arm resting on a ledge in an oval frame in the engraving. He has a round face, a prominent nose, and a composed expression, with curly white or grey hair. He wears a dark robe with loose sleeves and a scarf around his neck. On the ledge are rolled scrolls and an artist's palette with brushes. The background features textured patterns within the oval frame and decorative borders, including a green and gold border.
