The image shows a portrait of a man depicted in profile from the shoulders up. He is facing left, with a clear side view of his facial features. The man has a prominent nose, defined cheekbones, and a firm chin. His hair is styled in tight curls, and appears light-colored. He is wearing a dark coat with a high collar and two visible buttons, along with a light-colored neckerchief or cravat. The background is a textured circular form that contrasts with the plain light surface. Below the circle, the name "Amable Brazier" is handwritten, and there is a note that reads "Drawn & Engraved by S. Memin Philad."
