The image is a portrait of a man. He is positioned slightly angled towards the left, looking directly at the viewer. He has a youthful face with a fair complexion, brown eyes, and dark brown hair styled back. He is wearing a dark green coat over a pink waistcoat with large buttons and a white cravat. In his right hand, he is holding an open pocket watch attached to a chain with a small cross hanging from it. The background is plain dark brown.
