The image shows an oval portrait of a man from the chest up. He is slightly turned to his right, facing the viewer. The man has a gentle expression with a calm gaze, prominent nose, full cheeks, and a slight double chin. His hair is white or gray and styled away from his face. He is wearing a dark, buttoned coat over a white, high-collared shirt. The clothing suggests a formal style of the late 18th to early 19th century. The portrait is surrounded by a frame resembling a wooden surface. Below the portrait is an artist's palette with the inscription, "The Friendly Mr. Greenwood died 1792," and the painter's signature "M. Wether Es". The background is a solid, neutral tone.
