The image displays a bust-length portrait of a person facing a three-quarter view with their head slightly turned to the side and their right hand near their lips. The individual has a refined facial structure with a high forehead, defined features, and hair styled in voluminous curls typical of the 18th century. They wear elegant attire, including a fitted coat with ornate buttons, a waistcoat, and a cravat tied at the neck. A floral decoration is pinned to their chest. The person is framed within an oval, with a curtain and part of a window in the background, implying an indoor setting. The background has subtle shading and prints.
