The image shows an upper body portrait of a man with his left side facing slightly toward the viewer. His face is angular with prominent eyebrows and a long, solemn expression. He has voluminous, curly white hair that falls to his shoulders. The man is dressed in 18th-century attire, wearing a dark coat with large buttons and an elaborate collar, beneath which is a vest and a white cravat. The background is a dark, neutral shade. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held by the man. The portrait has a border at the bottom displaying text that identifies him as Captain Thomas Coram.
