The image is an engraved portrait of a man with long, curly hair. The portrait is framed within an oval, which is surrounded by text. The man is depicted wearing a dark cloak or robe, with a white collar visible at the neck. His expression is serious and contemplative.

The text around the oval frame reads:
"FELIX QUI POTUIT RERUM COGNOSCERE CAUSAS" (left side)
"ATQUE METUS OMNES ET INEXORABILE FATUM" (right side)

These phrases are from the Roman poet Virgil's "Georgics" and translate to:
"Happy is he who has been able to learn the causes of things" (left side)
"And has put beneath his feet all fears and inexorable fate" (right side)

Below the portrait, there is a lengthy inscription in German. It reads:
"Dies ist das Schattenbild von meines Freundes Leben
Das noch täglichen Gebrauch durch des Künstlers Hand
Muß führen die Redlichkeit den Geist und den Verstand
Noch aus des Todes Sturm und Scharfen Angesicht lassen."

This translates to:
"This is the shadow image of my friend's life
Which still must lead daily use through the artist's hand
Must guide honesty, the spirit, and understanding
Still from the storm of death and sharp appearance let."

At the bottom of the image, it is signed:
"J. C. Sturm pinxit. J. G. Seiler sculpsit."
"Christof Weigel exc."

This indicates that J. C. Sturm painted the original image, J. G. Seiler engraved it, and Christof Weigel published it.

Overall, the image appears to be a commemorative or honorific portrait, likely of a notable individual from the 17th or 18th century, given the style of clothing and the engraving technique.
