The image shows a man in a profile view, depicting the upper torso and head. He is turned to the right, with his gaze directed forward. His facial features are sharp, with a prominent nose and full lips. His hair is styled in soft curls that frame his head. He is wearing a high-collared shirt and a dark coat with large, round buttons. The background is plain and shaded, creating a vignette effect that focuses attention on the subject. The artwork has a formal and historical feel, enhanced by the handwritten signature "Ogden" at the bottom and the artist's note below the portrait.
