This is a black and white engraving depicting a man in 17th or 18th-century attire, seemingly a porter or carrier of luggage. He is standing in a full-body pose, and is heavily laden with boxes and a hat. The man is wearing a long coat or vest over breeches, and stockings. His shoes are simple and flat. He has a long wig with curls. He is balancing a large, rectangular box on his head, and carries two more boxes under his arms. A hat is dangling from his right hand. His attire appears to be that of a professional carrier, possibly a 'Mallétier Coffretier' as indicated by the text below the image. The background is plain, and the ground is indicated by some simple shading. The style of the engraving is detailed and precise, typical of the period.
