The image depicts an engraving of a man's upper body in profile, facing right. The man has distinct facial features including a prominent nose, strong chin, a beard, short curly hair, and a laurel wreath on his head. He is wearing a draped toga-like garment secured by a brooch on his shoulder. There are no visible jewelry pieces. The background is plain with engraving lines, enclosed in an oval border with decorative elements at the top. The text "MYRTO ET LAURO" is seen above, and the bottom identifies the man as Pierre de Ronsard with additional French text. The entire portrait has an aged appearance typical of historical engravings.
