The image shows an illustration of a man's upper body in profile facing to the right. He has a prominent nose and chin, delicate facial features, curly short hair, and is wearing a dark coat with wide lapels, and a high-collared white shirt or cravat typical of 18th or early 19th-century fashion. In the background, there is a simple, solid dark circle contrasting with the lighter page backdrop. Below the image, there is handwritten text that reads "John Jay" and "Peter Augustus Jay."
