The image is an engraving of a man's head and shoulders within an oval frame. The man is in profile facing right, with defined facial features, including a prominent nose and chin, and styled 18th-century hair. He wears a high-collared garment, possibly formal wear or period costume, with visible fabric textures. The background has a textured pattern, contrasting with the shading in the oval frame. At the top of the oval, there is depicted drapery. Text below identifies the subject as Guillaume Coustou, a sculptor of the king.
