The image is a round profile portrait of a man facing left. The man has a prominent nose, mustache, and strong jawline. His curly hair falls just below his ears. He is wearing a high-collared garment and there are inscriptions within the circle, including a signature that reads "E. Boulay Paty," and the name "ÉVARISTE BOULAY-PATY" below the circle. The background is simple and textured, with no decorative elements present.
