The image is a portrait of a man in profile view, from the chest up. The man is facing the right side of the image. His facial features are prominent, with a clear nose and chin. His hair is styled in a formal 18th or early 19th-century fashion, with curls framing his face. He wears a dark coat with a high collar and a white cravat at his neck. He is not holding any objects. The background is a simple shaded circular area against a light background. The name "Fergusson" is labeled below the portrait.
