The image is an engraving featuring a portrait of a man shown from the waist up. He is seated and positioned within an oval frame, turning slightly to his left with his head turned in profile. The man has a full head of curly, shoulder-length hair and a strong, well-defined face with a prominent nose. He is dressed in a loose garment with a partially open shirt underneath, which has a slightly crumpled collar. His left hand holds a painter's palette with visible paint dabs, while his right hand rests on an artist's brush. Around him, there are artistic elements like a rolled-up sheet of paper and books. The background contains detailed moulding, emphasizing the ornate appearance of the oval frame. The bottom of the engraving has an inscription with his name, "Nicolas Bertin," and descriptive text.
