The image shows an oval portrait of a man in profile facing to the right. The man has a prominent nose and curly hair pulled back, possibly tied at the nape of the neck. He is wearing formal attire with a high-collared garment and a large collar or cravat around his neck. The portrait is surrounded by an engraved oval with text along the perimeter, likely in French. The background within the oval is shaded with closely spaced lines. Additional elements include an emblem with cherubic figures at the bottom and some text that appears to be a dedication or a poem.
