The artwork is a bust-length portrait of Kéry, with his face and upper torso visible, and a decorative oval frame featuring Latin inscription. The artwork is a prime example of 17th century European portraiture, a genre that often depicted individuals of influence. This piece is held by the Rijksmuseum and measures a modest 143 mm by 114 mm.
