The image shows a miniature portrait of a man's upper body. He is facing forward with his body slightly turned to the right. The man has fair skin, rounded cheeks, and light hair styled in waves away from his face. He wears a dark maroon coat over a white shirt with a white cravat. The portrait is in an oval gold-edged frame against a neutral gray background, suggesting a painted surface with delicate detail.
