The image shows a portrait of an individual with their upper body visible in profile facing to the right. The person has a prominent nose and a visible ear, with mid-length curly hair styled back. They are wearing a dark coat with a high collar and a white, intricately folded cravat. The background has a circular dark area around the subject and a lighter rectangular border surrounding the entire image. At the bottom, there is an inscription reading "C.S.
