The image depicts a man in an upper-body profile portrait, with his head turned to the side. He is dressed in a white shirt with a cravat and a high-collared overcoat or frock coat. The man has curly hair, prominent facial features, and sideburns. The background is a dark, textured circle, while the outer portion of the image is a plain, light color. The text at the bottom reads "Destouches" in a flowing script.
