The image is an engraved portrait of a man, in profile facing to the right. He has a prominent nose, receding hairline, and curly hair. The man is wearing a garment with a high collar, revealing a cravat or necktie. The portrait is enclosed within an oval medallion, set in a rectangular frame. Below the image is an engraved label that reads "P. CORNEILLE." The background provides a textured contrast to the oval and the figure. The engraving is set on a lightly speckled backdrop.
