A vertically oriented etching in black ink on cream paper depicts Pieter Breughel the Younger, a man with light skin, short hair, and a pointed beard. Shaded with fine hatching, he wears a large, pleated ruff and a draped cloak while facing our right. His left hand rests on a rolled document. Below the portrait, Latin text identifies him. The background is minimally detailed, emphasizing the figure's posture and dignified expression.
