The image shows a portrait of an individual from the chest up, depicted in profile view, facing to the right. The person is sitting with an upright posture. He has distinguished facial features with a prominent Roman nose and curly, shoulder-length hair tied at the back with a ribbon. He is dressed in a formal period coat with two visible buttons and a high-collared shirt with a cravat. There are no visible jewelry or objects held by the individual. The background is a plain oval frame with a gradient darkening towards the outer edges. The artwork is possibly a historical engraving.
