The image is an engraved portrait of a man named Mr. John Souter. He is shown from the upper half of his body, positioned slightly to the right with his head facing forward. The man has long, curly hair, a high forehead, arched eyebrows, and a slight smile. He is wearing formal attire from the 17th or 18th century, including a white cravat and a dark coat. The portrait is within an oval frame with a textured background, typical of engravings. A label below the portrait reads "Mr. John Souter."
