The image is a portrait of an individual from the shoulders up, facing to the left. The person has distinct facial features, including a prominent nose and strong jawline, with short curly hair. He is wearing a formal outfit with a high-collared dark coat and a white cravat tied around his neck. An earring is visible on one ear. The background is a simple, dark circular area. The name “De Willers” is written below the portrait in cursive script.
