The right portrait shows a person facing forward with a round face, wearing a flat cap and a coat with a fur collar. The person has a pronounced nose and a stern expression. The background features fine horizontal lines, and both portraits are enclosed in oval borders. The image is rendered in a monochrome, engraved style.
