The image is a portrait showing the upper portion of a person's body, from the shoulders up. The individual is in profile view facing the right side of the frame. The person has a prominent nose and full, curly hair styled in a late 18th to early 19th-century fashion. The individual is dressed in formal attire with a high-collared shirt, a bow tied around the neck, and a dark coat with visible buttons. There is no visible jewelry or objects, and the background is a simple, neutral circular area surrounding the head and shoulders. An inscription at the bottom reads "J.B. Soir."
