El hombre representado lleva un uniforme militar azul oscuro con botones dorados y charreteras decorativas. En el pecho lleva decoraciones muy reconocibles: la Legión de Honor, la más alta condecoración francesa, y una medalla roja, probablemente otra condecoración militar. Lleva un kepi rojo con ribetes negros y dorados, típico del uniforme francés de la época.
Su rostro es noble y orgulloso, con un bigote cuidado y una expresión serena pero decidida. El fondo es neutro y oscuro, lo que enfatiza al sujeto y lo separa visualmente del espacio circundante. El cuadro está enmarcado en un elegante marco ovalado dorado con tallas decorativas.
