The image is a bust-length profile of a man, turned to the right, showing his head and upper torso. He has wavy hair tied back with a small ribbon at the nape of his neck. The man has a prominent nose, strong jawline, well-defined lips, and a slightly pointed chin. He wears a high-collared garment, likely a coat, with two visible buttons on the side, and a white cravat underneath. The background is a plain, circular dark area that contrasts with the lighter tones of the man's hair and face. Below the circle, the name "Th. Nesstion" is handwritten in a classical style on a beige background.
