The image depicts an illustration of a person in historical clothing. The figure stands atop a brick platform with arms raised, as if gesturing or perhaps ready to conduct an orchestra. The individual is dressed in a blue coat with tails, adorned with gold buttons, and yellow breeches tucked into black boots with gold spurs. The hat is a traditional bicorne adorned with what appears to be a decorative cockade or emblem on the side. The title "La Girouette" is inscribed below the figure, which translates to "The Weather Vane" in French, suggesting the figure may represent changeability or capriciousness. The overall presentation has an aged appearance, with some staining and wear indicating it might be an artifact from an earlier period. The artist's name appears to be signed as "Pigal e." at the bottom right, indicating this was engraved by an artist with the last name Pigal.
