The image is a profile portrait of a man depicted from the shoulders up. The man is positioned facing to the right. He has a prominent nose, neutral expression, and eyes looking forward. His hair is styled in a formal, curled manner typical of the 18th century. He is wearing an elegant coat with a high-collared shirt visible at the neckline. The background is a simple, dark circular area. The engraving is signed by the artist, and the name "Sam'l Morris" is written below the portrait.
