The image is a detailed profile portrait of Charles Ramsey, showing him from the shoulders up. He is positioned facing to the right, displaying only the right side of his face. His facial features include a prominent nose and a strong jawline, with curly hair that is short and styled back, covering his ears. Ramsey is wearing a dark-coloured coat with a high collar, and underneath, he has a light-coloured cravat tied around his neck. The background is a plain, dark oval that makes the subject stand out against the lighter outer area. At the bottom of the portrait, the name "Charles Ramsey" is written in cursive.
