This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man with curly hair and a ruffled collar. His hands rest on his chest, and he wears a chain around his neck. The background is a plain oval frame with a decorative border of musical notes and text. The name "Joachim Jung" is written below the portrait, along with a long Latin title listing his titles and achievements. The style looks old-fashioned, with careful shading and fine lines.
