The image shows a man with well-defined facial features, including deep-set eyes, a straight nose, and a full dark mustache paired with a small goatee. He has curly medium-length hair, wearing a white shirt with a high collar under a dark coat or cloak. The background appears plain with a light texture resembling paper or parchment. There is text above and below the portrait, with the name "LVDOVICVS BALZACIVS ANN. ÆT 40" at the top and additional wording below the man's likeness.
