The image is an engraved portrait showing the head and upper torso of a man within an oval frame. The man's body is angled slightly, facing towards the right while he gazes directly at the viewer. He has well-defined facial features including arched eyebrows and a subtle smile. His hair is styled in soft curls typical of the 18th century. The man is dressed in a formal jacket with a visible shirt and a cravat or necktie. Below the portrait, within a rectangular plaque, the name "J.B.L. GRESSET." is inscribed. The background is plain and textured, with the engraving set against a light-colored paper.
