The image is a portrait of a man in profile. He has a straight nose and prominent chin, with elaborately styled hair typical of the 18th century. The man is dressed formally, with a high-collared jacket or robe adorned with intricate details. There is a decorative bow at the back of his neck. The background has a cross-hatched texture and a circular frame around the portrait. Below the image, text identifies the subject as "CHARLES DUCLOS," with additional inscriptions in elegant script. The portrait is against a patterned backdrop, resembling engraving from the period.
