The image shows a bust portrait of a man, focusing on the head and upper torso. The person is positioned in a slight three-quarter view, looking towards the viewer. He has long, wavy hair that falls around his shoulders and a distinctive mustache. His facial features are defined, with prominent cheekbones and a slightly furrowed brow. He is wearing a jacket over a shirt with a wide collar or scarf, which gives an impression of a voluminous neckline. The background features a textured oval border within a rectangular frame. The overall engraving style is detailed with hatching to suggest shadow and depth.
