The image is an etched portrait of a person, shown from the head to the upper torso in a three-quarter view. The individual has a prominent nose, deep-set eyes looking downward to their left, and a somber expression. They wear a wide-brimmed hat that mostly conceals their hair. The attire is simple and blends into the background. There are no visible jewelry or objects held by the person. The background is plain with sketchy lines framing the portrait. Inscriptions of "A.L" in the top left corner and a signature "A. Legros" in the bottom right corner are present.
