He is set against a dark background, and his gaze is directed towards the viewer. The engraving is rendered in fine detail, showcasing the subject's facial features and attire. A notable aspect of the painting is the use of cross-hatching techniques to create texture and depth in the subject's clothing and the background. This technique adds a sense of realism to the portrait. The level of detail and craftsmanship in the engraving suggests a high level of skill on the part of the artist.
