The image shows a profile portrait of a man facing to the right. He has a prominent nose, slightly protruding lips, and deep-set eyes. His hair is styled in an 18th-century fashion, with curls around his face and tied back with a ribbon. He is wearing a formal coat with a high collar and a white cravat. The background is a dark circular motif, and there is a handwritten name "J. Dayton" below the portrait and an artist's inscription mentioning Philadelphia below the circle.
