The image shows a detailed illustration of a man identified as Richard Whitington. His head is turned slightly to the left, with a stoic expression. He has prominent cheekbones, a straight nose, and thin lips. He wears a fabric headgear, an ornate garment with a high collar, a fur-trimmed robe, and an intricate chain with a medallion around his neck. He is holding a cat in his left arm. The black and white background features an elaborate architectural border with decorative elements, including scrolls and shields, and an inscription around the portrait. Above and below the portrait are additional inscribed panels.
