The image depicts a detailed drawing of a man's side profile from the chest up. The man has a prominent nose, high cheekbones, and a slightly furrowed brow. His hair is short and slightly tousled with a textured, wavy quality. He is wearing a high-collared coat with rich details and a shirt with a cravat. The man's expression is neutral, with his head turned to the left and eyes focused forward. The background is plain, with inscriptions above and below the portrait indicating his name, Bizeul, and the year 1860.
