The man has facial features including a high forehead, a long beard, and neatly combed back hair that reveals a receding hairline. He is dressed in a formal garment with a high collar and buttoned front, featuring a light-colored trim or inner lining visible in the center. Around him is an ornate oval frame adorned with leaves and the inscription "NICOLAS ABRAHAM Sr DE LA FRAMBOSTIERE" at the top, and additional text along the sides and bottom mentioning his age and title. Above the oval is a coat of arms. The background is filled with intricate linework, and the engraving includes additional text at the bottom.
