This engraving shows a man with a mustache and wavy hair, wearing a dark jacket with a high collar and a cross around his neck. The oval frame has text around it, with a woman's head at the top. The man's expression is serious, and the engraving has a lot of detail, with cross-hatching used to create texture and shading. The frame is ornate, with swirls and flourishes. This style of engraving is characteristic of the Baroque movement.
