The image features the upper body of a man in profile, facing right. The man has a sharp nose and prominent cheekbones, with composed expression. His hair is styled traditionally in the 18th century, powdered and tied back. He wears a formal coat with buttons, a high-collared shirt, and a cravat. There is no visible jewelry or objects in hand. The background is a textured oval set against a blank space. The text below identifies him as Charles Lameth, a deputy to the National Assembly in 1789, with publisher information at the bottom.
