The image shows a portrait of a man depicted in profile, facing left. The man is sitting upright with his head turned slightly to show his side profile. His facial features are distinct with a strong profile silhouette. His hair is styled in a traditional manner, tied back with a ribbon into a queue. He is wearing a light-colored necktie and a coat, suggestive of formal attire of the 18th century. The background is plain, with the man's portrait encased in an oval border, surrounded by a light-colored border on a rectangular paper. At the bottom of the image, there is a signature and the name "Maj: Roger Alden" inscribed in decorative script.
