Gabriel Spitzel is presented in a formal pose, dressed in a dark suit with a large, ruffled collar. The artist's signature and the date are inscribed below the portrait. Heckenauer's precise rendering and attention to detail in this work are characteristic of his style. The engraving is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
