The engraving depicts a man in a portrait bust, enclosed in an oval frame. The man is facing forward with his head slightly turned to the right, featuring curly hair and a beard. He wears a period costume with a high collar and ornate buttons. The frame is decorated with small figures and objects, including a mask on the right. The background is plain, and below the portrait, the name "Shakspeare" is inscribed, with the engraver identified as W. S. Walker.
