The image shows a portrait of a man from the chest up, positioned slightly at an angle, looking to his left. He has mature facial features with a prominent nose and lips. His hair is gray and styled in a voluminous manner, extending back from his forehead. He is wearing a dark-colored coat with a high collar, and underneath, a pink waistcoat is visible. Around his neck, he has a large, intricately tied white cravat. There is no jewelry visible or objects in his hands. The portrait is set against an oval, mottled dark brown background, framed with his name, Michel Lepelletier, inscribed below.
