An engraved portrait of a man's upper body and head is depicted within an oval frame. The man is looking directly at the viewer with his head slightly turned to one side. He has a rounded face with pronounced cheeks and wears a confident expression. The man's hair is styled in a period-appropriate fashion, featuring short, curling locks framing his face in a powdered wig. He is dressed in a formal coat with a high collar and a decorative scarf or cravat around his neck. The oval frame is surrounded by an ornate border with floral patterns and intricate detailing. A rectangular plaque beneath the portrait is inscribed with "D. Pineau Sculpteur." The background has a textured appearance that enhances the three-dimensional effect of the frame and plaque, with additional filigree for design embellishment.
