The portrait is executed with the meticulous detail and precision characteristic of Nanteuil's style, capturing the sitter's features with a sense of realism and psychological depth that was highly prized in portraiture of the period. Le Vayer is portrayed in a formal pose, typical of the portraiture conventions of the era, which aimed to convey the dignity and status of the subject.
Nanteuil's mastery of the engraving medium is evident in the intricate rendering of textures and light, from the softness of Le Vayer's hair to the intricate lace and fabric of his attire. The portrait not only serves as a testament to the artist's skill but also provides a valuable historical record of the appearance and fashion of a 17th-century intellectual.
