The image shows an engraving of a man in a bust-length portrait framed in an oval border. The man faces the viewer, with long, curly hair reaching his shoulders. He has distinct facial features including an upturned mouth, wide nose, and pronounced cheeks. He wears a formal coat with a high collar and a cravat. The background is a dark, textured surface. The oval is surrounded by decorative ribbons and set against a backdrop resembling a carved stone pedestal with initials or a name at the base.
