This is a portrait of a man in profile, facing to the right. He has light-colored, curly hair styled in an 18th-century fashion, a prominent nose, and a firm chin. The man is wearing a dark coat with button details visible at the shoulder, and a shirt with a white cravat at the neckline. The background is a dark circle against a lighter rectangular paper with the handwritten notation "Tho. Rodman" at the bottom.
