The image shows an engraved portrait of a man depicted from the shoulders up, positioned in profile facing to the viewer's left. He has long, wavy hair cascading down over his shoulders, and his facial features include a prominent nose and a strong jawline. He is wearing a high-collared garment with a cravat. The portrait is enclosed in a circular frame with a textured background, and below this image is a plaque-like space that reads "J. DE LA FONTAINE." The overall background is a plain, light-colored canvas.
