The image is a portrait of a man shown from the chest up, facing left in profile. His head is turned slightly towards the left. The man has a full, rounded face with a strong nose and a pronounced chin. His hair is curly and short, styled neatly around his head, and is covered by a tied wig or a similar garment that extends down his neck. He is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark coat with a high collar and a light-colored cravat around his neck. The background of the image is a plain circle that frames the man's profile. The artist's signature can be seen below the circular frame, along with some text. The lower border of the image is a lighter band that contains handwritten text.
