The image shows a portrait of a person's upper body, with the focus on their head and torso. The person is looking slightly to the right but appears to be gazing at the viewer. They have long, curly hair reaching their shoulders, delicate facial features, and a soft expression with slightly parted lips. The person is wearing luxurious clothing, including an embroidered jacket and a lace-trimmed cravat, indicating high status. There are no visible jewelry or objects in their hands. The portrait is within an oval frame, with a neutral background. At the bottom of the image is an inscription that reads "Philippe Duc d'Anjou" along with decorative elements.
