The image is a detailed black and white engraving featuring a central oval frame, inside which would ordinarily sit a portrait. Surrounding the frame are various design elements: decorative scrolls, foliage, fruit, and two flanking columns topped with orbs. Above the central frame is a coat of arms with a helmet and mantling. Below the central frame, there is a banner with Latin text which reads, "VIRTUTE ET GENIO non sibi vixit; atque CHRISTO Qui nobis id facere ducat est LAGNVS et AGNVS." The text pays homage to Christian virtues and uses symbolic references to Christ as both a lamb (AGNUS) and a sacrifice, with an invocation for Christ to lead us. The words "Brueghel. Inven." and "Scult." suggest the involvement of the Brueghel family in the creation of this image and that it was engraved by the credited individual.
