The painting depicts Richard Dana. He is a man with fair skin and a large, curled white wig. He wears a black robe with a white collar and cuffs. His left hand rests on his chest, while his right hand hangs at his side. The background features a dark area with a green curtain on the left, a column in the center, and a window on the right showing a tree and blue sky. He stands facing slightly right of the viewer.
