This is a close-up portrait of a man's head and shoulders shown in profile view facing left. The man has an aquiline nose, a prominent chin, and detailed curled hair styled in tight rolls cascading towards his shoulders. He wears a coat and an undergarment with a high collar typical of the 18th century. The image is circular, framed with decorative text around the perimeter. The background has lined textures within the circular frame. At the bottom, there are inscriptions with the artist's name and the year 1780.
