A man with a powdered grey wig, dark velvet coat, white cravat, and green and gold sash
A half-length portrait depicts a man with light skin, blue eyes, and a powdered grey wig with curls framing his face. He faces slightly to the viewer's right, with his head turned to look directly forward, displaying a faint smile. He wears a voluminous white ruffled cravat or jabot, beneath which a bright blue sash is visible. Over a dark, possibly black or deep blue, velvet coat, an ornate green and gold embroidered sash or stole is draped from his left shoulder across his chest. A decorative chain, possibly a chain of office, with intricate links and small medallions, is worn across his chest over the velvet coat. Gold embroidery with floral or scroll motifs is visible on the lower part of his sleeves or cuffs. The background is a plain, light brown-grey color. In the upper right corner, faint text reads "De La Tour" and "1750".
