The image is an illustration of an individual from the chest up, facing right. The person has distinct facial features, including a strong nose and defined eyebrow arches. The person's hair is tightly curled and tied with a ribbon at the nape of the neck. The individual is dressed in formal historical attire, with a dark coat, high collar, and a white cravat or stock at the neck. No visible jewelry is present. The background is a shaded circle within a rectangular frame, and the name "Jenkins" is written in cursive script at the bottom.
