The image shows a portrait of a man, depicted from the shoulders upwards, in profile facing to the right. The man has a pronounced facial profile with a straight nose and a slight downward tilt of his lips. His hair is styled in a neat and slightly wavy manner, forming structured curls around his ear. He wears a high-collared dark coat over a light-colored cravat, and the background of the portrait consists of a circular dark shading isolating him. The lower part of the image includes a handwritten label identifying the subject as "Doctr Bruse Archibald." There are no visible jewelry or objects held by the person in this image.
