A vertically oriented micrography engraving in black ink depicts a bearded man with light skin tone. Rendered using tiny Hebrew script, the figure holds two arched tablets with bold text in his right hand and a staff in his left. He wears a hooded robe, with rays emanating from his head. Below, multiple lines of printed text in Hebrew, English, French, and German flank the central title, "PORTRAIT DE MOÏSE."
