The image is an engraving showing the upper half of a man seated inside an oval frame that is part of a larger rectangular composition. The man is positioned in profile, facing to the right. He has white hair, a tricorn hat with a white plume, and wears a military uniform with an epaulette and a star-shaped medal on his chest. The background includes a laurel wreath above the oval frame and items below it, such as an open book, a sheathed sword, and crossed pistols. There is text at the bottom stating "FREDERIC II Roi de Prusse." The overall color scheme is monochromatic.
