The image shows a monochromatic portrait of a man from just below the shoulders upwards. The man is in profile, facing to the right with a slight upward tilt to his head. He has a strong, straight nose and a defined chin. His hair is styled in medium-length curls, held back with a ribbon. He is wearing a dark coat with a tall collar, and a white cravat is visible underneath. The background is dark, contrasting with the lighter tones of the man's face and hair. The portrait is set within a circular frame against a sepia-toned paper, with the word "Halliwell" inscribed at the bottom.
