Bearded man in dark coat, holding object, with text and a coat of arms
The black and white portrait depicts a man from the chest up, set within an arched, light-colored frame. The man faces slightly to the viewer's right, with his gaze directed forward. He has a bald head, a full dark beard, and a mustache. He wears a dark, high-collared coat or robe, over which a wide, white, flat collar is visible. Two long, beaded chains, metallic and detailed, hang vertically down his chest, one on each side. His hands are positioned at the bottom center of the portrait; his left hand rests over his right, which holds a small, ridged, cylindrical object. The background behind the man is uniformly dark. In the upper left corner, a coat of arms is depicted, featuring a helmet atop a shield with various patterns. Below the coat of arms, the text "En Elspant Möchenberg" is inscribed in a light color. In the upper right corner, more light-colored text reads "ÆTAT SVÆ 80. 6 MOIS A° 1605".
