The image shows the upper half of a man's body in profile facing left. He has a prominent nose and chin with a firm expression on his face. His curly hair is styled in a fashion typical of the late 18th or early 19th century. The man is dressed in formal attire, featuring a dark coat and a high, light-colored cravat that wraps around his neck. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects that he is holding. The background is a plain dark circle that emphasizes the profile of the man's face. At the bottom of the image, on light brown paper, the name "John Ogden" is written in a cursive script.
