This image is a profile portrait of a man depicted from the waist up. He is positioned in profile, facing to the right side of the image. The man has curly hair with a voluminous texture that frames his face. His facial features are clearly defined with a slightly prominent nose and a firm jawline. He is wearing a high-collared garment, likely a coat, with a cravat or scarf that wraps closely around his neck, tied in an elaborate fashion. A hoop earring can be seen in his left ear. The background of the portrait consists of a simple, dark, and textured area. The name "Soissons" is written at the bottom of the portrait.
