Sepia-toned portrait of James Watt by Charles Turner. The man sits in a chair with a high back. He wears a dark velvet coat with a shawl collar over a dark waistcoat with buttons and a white cravat. His right arm rests on a table covered in fabric, with a landscape scene in the background behind it. His left hand holds a piece of paper. The man has white hair parted on the side and combed over the top of his head. He wears tall dark boots. The chair has a patterned seat and back and metal rivets. A curtain with swag drapery is visible behind and to the right of the man. A landscape scene is on the left. Small text appears at the bottom.
