The image features a profile portrait of a man facing to the right. He has distinct facial features including a prominent nose, defined chin, sideburns blending into short, wavy hair. He is wearing a high-collared shirt with a ruffled cravat and a dark coat with visible buttons. The background is monochrome, and below the portrait is a strip of textured paper with the cursive text "Gourdin."
