The image shows a portrait of a man from the upper portion of his body. He is facing forward with a slightly turned head. The man has an elongated face, a prominent nose, a small mustache, and long wavy hair that flows past his shoulders. His attire is elaborate with a high collar or ruffled garment visible. The background features stylized clouds, adding depth to the scene. The engraved text identifies the subject as Algernon Percy, Earle of Northumberland, and credits the artist and engravers.
