The composition follows the conventions of eighteenth-century aristocratic portraiture, where the subject is depicted in a dignified, side-facing pose. The count wears a powdered wig and period-appropriate attire, rendered with precise lines that define the texture of his clothing and the soft contours of his face. The circular frame is decorated with a laurel wreath motif, a common element in Neoclassical design, which adds a sense of order and classical authority to the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the portrait, the work includes a plinth-like base featuring a coat of arms and detailed calligraphic inscriptions. These elements identify the subject and provide biographical details, including his birth date and his reception into the Estates in 1769. The inclusion of heraldry and text transforms the portrait into a commemorative document, typical of the era's interest in lineage and social status. The engraving technique allows for a high degree of control, with subtle shading used to create a sense of volume within the circular frame while keeping the background relatively neutral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndreas Bernardus de Quertenmont, a Flemish artist active in Antwerp, was known for his technical proficiency in printmaking.

The composition focuses on the sitter, who is rendered with precise, controlled line work typical of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Flemish printmaking tradition.

His gaze is directed slightly away from the viewer, conveying a sense of contemplation. The background remains largely unadorned, ensuring that the viewer's attention stays fixed upon the figure.
