The image shows an engraved portrait of a man in profile view from the chest up. The man is facing right, with his head slightly tilted upwards. He has a detailed facial profile with a strong nose and chin, and his hair is in an 18th-century style, tied back with a ribbon. He is dressed in a formal 18th-century garment. The portrait is surrounded by an oval frame with a draped cloth design at the top. Below the oval frame is a rectangular plaque inscribed with "N.B. Lépicié Professeur de l’Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture." The engraving features cross-hatching details around the portrait and background, which is plain.
