The description provided matches the morphology of a promyelocyte, which is the earliest stage of neutrophil maturation recognizable in the bone marrow. The size, round nucleus with lacey chromatin and several nucleoli, and deep blue cytoplasm with large granules are all characteristic features of promyelocytes. The other stages of neutrophil maturation (myelocyte, metamyelocyte, and band neutrophil) have more condensed chromatin and fewer nucleoli, and show progressive segmentation of the nucleus and decreased granulation of the cytoplasm.
