The image is of a man in profile, facing right. He is seated upright with a dignified posture, showing his facial features including a prominent nose, firm chin, and thick sideburns. His curly hair is styled traditionally as seen in historical depictions from the 18th century. The man is dressed in a dark coat with a high collar over a white shirt with a cravat. The portrait is framed in a circular frame against a plain background with a signature "Drawn & engrd. by St. Memin Philadel." Below it, the name "George Bond" is inscribed in cursive writing on a brown section. The image is rendered in shades of black, white, and grey as in an engraved print.
