The image is an engraving of a man depicted from the chest up. He is facing forward with shoulder-length curly hair and a mustache, wearing a cloak over a high-collared shirt. His portrait is framed by an ornate border with decorative elements, including leaves. Below the frame are two cherubic figures, one holding an artist's palette and the other holding a sculptor's tool. In the background, there is a classical architectural structure to the left, with high horizons and skies with scattered clouds.
