The image shows a head-and-shoulders profile portrait of a man facing to the right, enclosed within a circular frame. He has a prominent nose, high forehead, and tightly curled hair styled back and tied with a ribbon at the nape of his neck. The man wears an 18th-century style coat with a high collar and a cravat. Above the circular frame is a decorative bow. The background is plain and textured, with the name "L. BAY DE CURYS," the year 1759, and the artist's signature inscribed below the circular frame.
