A vertically oriented engraving in black ink depicts François de Troy, a man with a light skin tone. Leaning through a stone window frame, he wears a soft cap and buttoned jacket. He holds an oval palette with brushes and a long, thin stick. Fine cross-hatching creates deep shadows, while light from the left illuminates his face and open shirt. A dark, draped curtain fills the upper right background.
