The image shows a profile view of a man depicted in a portrait style. He is positioned in profile, facing to the right. His facial features are well-defined, with a prominent nose, a rounded face, and a strong chin. The man has curly hair that is styled back and tied with a bow at the neck. He is dressed in a dark coat with buttons visible on the front, and wears a high-collared white cravat. There are no other objects or jewelry visible. The background is a simple oval shape, shaded to contrast with the subject, set against an off-white background. The artist's signature appears beneath the portrait, along with the name "St. Memin Fhiladel."
