The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up. The man is positioned with his body facing slightly to the right but his head turned towards the viewer, giving a three-quarter pose. His facial features include a slightly smiling expression with a prominent curled mustache, a short beard, arched eyebrows, and prominent cheekbones. His hair is short, wavy, and neatly styled. He is dressed in a cloak-like garment with a high, ruffled collar, which partly obscures his neck. The material appears to be thick and richly textured. One of his hands is visible and is holding onto the cloak. In the background, there is a textured pattern. The portrait is monochrome and appears to be styled like a traditional engraving or etching. At the bottom of the image, the name "ARTUS WOLFART" is inscribed in uppercase letters.
