The image is a portrait showing the upper part of the body, from the chest upwards. The person, identified as Seb. Le Clerc, is positioned in a three-quarter view, looking slightly to the side. He has curly hair that cascades over his shoulders, framing his face. His facial features include a prominent nose and a neutral expression. He is wearing a dark garment with elaborate detailing, along with a white collar. The portrait is set within an oval frame, and below it is a decorative crest or emblem. The background consists of a textured pattern, contrasting with the smooth oval frame around the figure.
