The illustration shows a man's profile within an oval frame, facing right. The man is seated with his facial features visible, including a prominent nose and chin. He has curly hair styled back in a classic late 18th to early 19th-century manner. He wears a dark coat with brass buttons, a high collar, and a light cravat around his neck. The background is plain with a subtle gradient inside the oval. The name "D. H. Hurst." and the artist's signature "Drawn & engr'd by St. Memin Philadel." are inscribed below the image.
