The image shows an older man seated, turned to the side with one arm resting on a surface while the other hand touches his chin. His detailed face with expressive eyes, nose, and lips is framed by long, wavy hair under a cap. He wears a voluminous garment, and the background is plain. The engraving identifies the artist as I. E. Liotard and notes the technique as "Effet: Clair obscur sans sacrifice."
