The image displays a portrait of an individual identified as Dr. John Whitgift. He is depicted from the chest up, facing forward inside an ornate oval frame. Dr. Whitgift has a prominent nose, a full beard, and a mustache. He wears a dark cap, ruffled collar, dark robe, and an undergarment with a decorative neckline. The background consists of horizontal lines, and the frame includes scrollwork and a decorative cherub above the subject's head. Below the figure, a plaque identifies the individual as "The most Reverend Dr. John Whitgift Ld. Arch-Bishop of Canterbury" with a coat of arms.
