The image depicts the upper body of a man identified as John Selden. He is facing forward with a slight turn to his left, showing more of his right side. He has a straight nose, full lips, and a strong jawline. His hair is styled in loose curls with bangs. He is dressed in a dark garment with a high collar, a buttoned vest, and a cloak-like garment draped over his shoulders. The portrait is in an oval frame with a decorative pattern, set against a background of parallel lines. Text below the image identifies him as 'The true and Lively Portraiture of that Learned Antiquary John Selden.'
