The image is a circular portrait of a man from the chest up. The man is sitting upright, with his head turned slightly to the side, displaying a clear profile. His facial features include a prominent nose, a slightly pursed mouth, and well-defined jawline. His hair is styled in a neat manner, with short curls on the front and sides, and the back is tied with a ribbon. He is wearing a high-collared shirt with a cravat, and a dark coat with wide lapels. No visible jewelry or objects are being worn or held by the person. The background of the image is a dark, textured backdrop. The portrait is framed within an oval shape, and below it, there is a section with handwritten text that reads "L. H. de Girardin."
