A print portrait in black ink depicts a man in profile, facing right with his head bowed. He holds a crumpled, light-colored cloth to his mouth. Dense, intersecting black lines define his matted hair and textured clothing. Behind him to our left, a paneled wall is rendered with vertical lines, while leafy branches sprout to our right. In the top left corner, text reads "Gazette des Beaux-Arts."
