The image is a portrait showing an upper body view of a man in profile, facing to the right. The man is seated with his head turned to the side, highlighting his profile. He has distinct facial features, including a strong nose, and white, curly hair styled back away from his face. He is wearing a dark coat with large buttons and a high white collar or cravat wrapped around his neck. There's no visible jewelry, and he is not holding any objects. The background is a dark circle that frames the portrait, creating a contrast against the lighter tones of the man's face and attire. Below the portrait, there’s an inscription of the name “James O’Hara” on a lighter colored surface.
