The image shows a profile portrait of a man's upper body. He is facing to the side, looking towards the right. The man has distinct facial features, including a notable nose and chin, along with short, curly hair extending to the nape of his neck. He is dressed in a dark coat with large buttons and an elevated collar, typical of late 18th to early 19th-century fashion, and wears a light-colored cravat. In the background, there is a circular, darkly shaded area with a light border and inscriptions around it in cursive, along with the artist's credit. Below the portrait is the handwritten name "Th: Clay" in bold script.
