The image is a portrait of a man shown in profile facing to the left. He has a pronounced nose and slightly rounded chin, with a focused expression. His hair is light in color and styled in short curls typical of the period. He is wearing a high-collared shirt with a neck scarf and a dark jacket. The background of the image is a textured, dark circular area, while the outer section is light. The word "Coulon" is written at the bottom of the portrait.
