The image is a portrait of a person in a circular frame. The person is shown in profile facing left with distinct facial features such as a sharp nose and prominent chin. Their hair is neatly styled in curls tied back with a ribbon. The individual is dressed in a formal 18th or 19th-century outfit with a dark coat over a high-collared white shirt with a ruffled cravat. The background is plain and monochromatic, emphasizing the subject. The word "Schweighauser" is written in an elegant script below the portrait on a separate band.
