The image depicts a detailed profile portrait of a person from the shoulders up. The individual faces to the right with a straight posture. They have light-colored hair styled neatly with curls tied at the back with a ribbon near the neck. The person has distinct facial features, a sharp nose, and a possible earring in view. The individual wears a dark coat with a high collar and a light-colored cravat wrapped around the neck. The background is plain and dark, contrasting with the lighter tone of the figure. The artist's signature and some text are visible at the bottom of the circular border, with a handwritten name below on a lighter section.
