This image shows a detailed profile view of a man's upper body. He is positioned facing to the right, displaying a classical side portrait pose. His facial features include a prominent nose and a fully visible chin, with tightly curled hair that appears to be neatly styled, reaching down to the nape of his neck. He is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark coat with visible buttons and a high white cravat wrapped around his neck. The background consists of a plain circular backdrop. Below the circular portrait, there is a section with the artist's signature, "Drawn & engd. by St. Memin Philad.," and some handwritten text on the lower portion.
