The image shows an engraving of a portrait within an oval frame. The person in the portrait is seated, facing slightly to the left, holding a chisel-like tool in their right hand. They have a serious expression, with eyes looking forward, a straight nose, closed lips, and medium-length hair under a cap with a small tassel. They wear a loose-fitting jacket with a ruffled collar visible under it. The background of the portrait is textured. The lower part of the print contains text identifying the subject.
