The image shows a profile view of a man's head and upper shoulders within an ornate circular border. The man faces left, with detailed facial features, including a pronounced nose, full lips, and a calm expression. He has curly hair tied in a bow at the back, typical of 18th-century style. He wears a high-collared garment with intricate folds. The background has fine texture. Above the frame is a detailed decorative bow. The name "J. D'ALEMBERT" is inscribed below the portrait.
