The image shows a medallion with a profile relief of a person's head and upper neck facing left. The person has a straight nose, closed lips, and neutral expression. The hair is styled back, and the person is wearing a simple garment revealed at the neckline. The circular medallion is a brownish tone, resembling wood. Below it is a side view sketch of the medallion with its mounting and the artist's signature, "John Brennan." The background is plain and off-white.
