The image shows a man standing in profile, facing left. He has one hand on his hip and the other holding a rolled object. The man has defined facial features, a prominent nose, and a proud expression. He has a receding hairline with longer hair tied back. He wears a coat with wide sleeves, a waistcoat, knee breeches, stockings, and shoes with buckles. There is text at the bottom identifying him as "Sig. Gio. Battà Piranesi Architetto, ed Incis. in Roma."
