The image shows an engraved bust portrait of a person in profile, facing left. The person has a prominent nose, a slightly pursed mouth, long, curly hair, and is shown from the chest upwards. The individual wears a garment with folds, and the oval frame within a rectangular border includes the inscription "BOILEAU" below the portrait. The background features a textured crosshatched surface within the borders against a plain outer backdrop.
