The image depicts a man in profile, seated, with a prominent nose, chin, strong jawline, and wavy hair combed back with light curls above his ear. He wears a high-collared shirt, a cravat, and a dark coat with visible buttons. There are no objects in his hands. The background is dark and the man is set against a light-colored backdrop with inscriptions at the bottom, including "Drawn & eng'd by St. Memin Philad." Below the frame, there is a handwritten note with the name "Robt. Harper" and another partially legible word.
