An engraving portrait of Theodorus de Bry, by himself and confirming his origins from Liège, in Latin "Leodiensis", between brackets: (a city at that time not belonging either to Flanders or Wallonia, or even to Belgium). He is dressed in work costume, with a flange goffered on a collar of fur, one hand holding a compass while the other rests on a human skull, both signs of erudition at that time. With his high head, sharp eyes, and severe face, he seems to pronounce the Latin words registered on the table: "Domine, doce me ita reliquos vitae meae dies transigere ut in vira pietate vivam et moriar". Just below these words, there is the motto of the de Bry family, NUL SANS SOUCY, which means "none without worry".
