This is a black-and-white profile portrait of a man, shown from the chest up. The man is positioned side-on, facing to the right of the image, with his gaze directed forward. His facial features are illustrated, with a chin, nose, and lips. He has curly hair tied at the back with a ribbon in 18th-century fashion. He is dressed in a dark coat with a high-collared white cravat. The background is plain, and the portrait is framed by a circular border. Below the image is handwritten text that identifies him as "Rodgers Benjamin Woolsey."
