A high-contrast etching depicts Charles Baudelaire, a man with light skin, in a chest-up portrait. His face, looking slightly to our right, emerges from a dense field of black hatching. Bright highlights illuminate his wide forehead and left cheek, while deep shadows obscure his eyes. He wears a starched white collar and dark, knotted bow. Below the portrait, the signature "Manet" and printed text mark the textured paper margin.
