This is a portrait of a man. The man is depicted from the upper body up, with his head turned slightly to the right. He has delicate facial features, including a long nose and a small mouth, and is gazing towards the viewer with a calm expression. His hair is medium length, dark, and falls in gentle waves just above his collar. He is wearing a dark cassock and white clerical collar. The background is plain, and the portrait is contained within an ornate oval frame with inscriptions at the top that read "MAURITIUS LE TELLIER ABBAS ET COMES LANCISIENSIS" and bears a coat of arms at the bottom.
