The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is posed facing slightly to the right but his head is turned towards the viewer. His facial features are classically Caucasian with an oval face, a straight nose, and a neutral expression. The man has long curly hair that falls over his shoulders. He is wearing an elaborate garment with a richly patterned collar and a robe or mantle with decorative elements on the shoulders. The portrait is framed within an ornate oval border with intricate detailing, including ribbon-like decorations and a familial coat of arms beneath the portrait. The area around his head is shaded. The background includes engraving lines and shading. Below the portrait is inscribed text identifying the subject as Robert Lord Brooke, along with titles and dates.
