The image is a photograph of a plaque on a black surface. The plaque is rectangular in shape and has a white background. On the left side of the plaque, there is a text that reads "Jean Baptiste Lemoyne II, French, 1704-1778". Below the text, it reads "This terracotta bust was a study for a marble portrait (now lost) of Madame du Barry, the last mistress of Louis XV (reigned 1723-74). The angle of her head and her divergent gaze present a vulnerable young woman rather than the powerful individual she ultimately became. Born in the illegitimate daughter of a peasant woman, she brought her to the attention of the king who installed her at court in 1769." 

The plaque is attached to a black frame with two screws on either side. The text is written in black ink and is in a serif font.
