The engraving shows a man in a half-length portrait. He is angled to his left with his head turned to face the viewer. He has a focused expression, high cheekbones, a straight nose, and full lips. His hair is long, curly, and flows past his shoulders. He is dressed in a period garment, possibly a cloak or robe, draped over his shoulders with a visible cuff and lace trim. His right hand is positioned with fingers slightly apart, resting against his torso. The background is plain with a textured pattern and a corner detail, adding depth to the composition. Below the portrait are the words "Sebastiano Ricci" and "Pittore," indicating the subject is a painter.
