The image shows a bust-length portrait of a man in profile view, facing right. The man has a rounded face, a slightly prominent nose, and short, neat hair with curls at the back. He wears a dark coat with a high collar and a white necktie. The background has a circular vignette effect, with darker shading on the outer area and a lighter tone in the portrait. At the bottom, there is a signature: "Wm Turner."
