A scene of a large room, perhaps a study, in which a large desk and chair is at the center. There is a fireplace with a large dog lying couchant in front. Several decorations and ornaments surround the room. The image itself is framed by a border of thistle flowers and leaves. In the lower right-hand corner, next to the title text, is a small shield, divided in half and counter charged—with a chevron on each side; the left surrounded by three stars; two above, one below and three garbes of wheat of the right side; two above, one below. At the helm stands a man in metal armor.
A coat of arms divided into four parts, on which are a total of seven lions, a horn, and a gaffe, among other design. At the helm is a knight's helmet surrounded by mantling. A songbird stands on a branch over the crest, and beneath is the motto Better a wee bush than nae bield.
