The man wears a high-collared shirt with a large cravat around his neck and a dark coat with a wide lapel. The background is circular with a soft, textured pattern. At the bottom of the portrait, "D. Prioleau" is handwritten. The overall tone of the image is monochromatic with a sepia or grey coloration.
