The painting depicts a man with fair skin and gray hair. He wears a light-gray suit with a vest and coat featuring buttons down the front, and cuffs with buttons. A white shirt with ruffled cuffs is visible under the coat. The man sits on a red chair, with his right arm resting on a table covered by a green cloth. His left arm rests on the arm of the chair. In his right hand, he holds a letter. Behind him, to the left, is a painting of a seascape with a pink and gray sky. To his right, a red curtain is pulled back. The background is dark green. The title of the painting is Samuel Cutts by Joseph Blackburn.
