The image is an engraving portraying a profile view of a person's upper body. The individual, potentially male, is seated or positioned sideways, facing to the right. Their facial features include a prominent nose and a composed expression. They have curly hair styled neatly, extending to the neck. The person is depicted wearing formal attire, including a high-collared shirt and a jacket. There are no visible jewelry or objects in their hands. The background features a circular, textured design contrasting with the lighter surrounding color, which emphasizes the figure. At the bottom of the image, there is handwritten text with the name "Saml. Hazlehurst."
