The image is a portrait of a man shown from the chest up, positioned in profile facing the right. The man's facial features are rendered with detailed line work, showing a prominent nose, high cheekbones, and a neutral expression. His hair is short and styled in a slightly wavy manner. He is wearing a dark coat with a high collar and a visible button, underneath which a white cravat is neatly tied around his neck. The background is simple and dark. Below the circular frame of the image, "Peter Derbigny" is written in elegant cursive script.
