The illustration features an upper-body profile view of a person facing to the left. The person is seated or leaning slightly, with their head turned in profile. They have a nose, a beard, and textured hair covered by a turban with feathers on top. The figure wears a patterned garment with a draped design. There are no visible objects or jewelry. The background is simple with the artist's signature and date, "Le Prince 1768," in the bottom right corner.
