The image is a portrait of a man in profile. He has defined facial features including a prominent nose and chin, and curly hair typical of the late 18th or early 19th-century fashion. He is wearing a high-collared coat and a white cravat. The background is a simple circular backdrop with the name "Masson" inscribed below it.
