The image is an etching showing a head-and-shoulders profile view of a bearded man facing to the right. He appears slightly hunched, with his shoulders forward, and is turned to the side. His facial features include a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and pronounced cheekbones. He has long hair and a full beard, wears a textured hat with a brim, and has a coat or cape draped over his shoulders. The background is plain with cross-hatched shading. The piece is signed by the artist A. Legros at the bottom right.
