The image is an engraving of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a collared shirt and a vest. He is shown from the chest up, facing forward. The engraving is surrounded by a circular border with text, and there is additional text at the bottom of the image. The man's facial expression is serious, and his hair is styled in a manner that was common during the Baroque period. The engraving technique used to create the image is detailed and intricate, with fine lines and shading that give the subject depth and dimension. This engraving is a great example of the work of Magdalena van de Passe, a skilled artist of the Baroque movement.
