This is an image of a head and shoulders portrait of a man shown in profile from the right side. The man is seated or posed so that he is facing to the right. His facial features include a prominent, straight nose and a firm chin, with a neutral expression. He has mid-length, slightly wavy hair that falls around the nape of his neck, and it is tied back with a ribbon. The man is wearing a dark coat with a high collar over a light-colored shirt and an intricately tied cravat. The background of the image is a plain, dark circle that smoothly transitions to the lighter border surrounding the circular area, creating the effect of an oval vignette. Below the portrait, there is a section with the name "Codrington" inscribed.
