Oval black and white portrait of a man. The man has curly hair and a well-groomed beard and mustache. He wears a dark-colored jacket over a white cravat and white shirt. A small pendant hangs on the cravat. The portrait is framed in a silver oval frame with a beaded border and a bail at the top. The background of the portrait is light-colored. The portrait appears to be a miniature painting.
