The image shows an upper-body profile view of a man facing to the right. He is depicted in a classical portrait style, with detailed facial features including a prominent nose and a strong chin. The man has an elaborate hairstyle with curls tied back, typical of the late 18th to early 19th century. He is dressed in formal attire; a dark coat with a high collar, worn over a intricately tied cravat or neckcloth. The coat is fastened with a button. The background is plain and dark. Below the circular portrait, there is elegant script stating "Drawn & engr'd by St Memin Burlington" and "Ed. Brailsford."
