The image is a profile portrait showing the upper body of a man facing to the right. His head is in full profile, emphasizing his facial features - a strong nose and a protruding chin. He has styled hair with side curls and a queue tied with a ribbon. The man is dressed in formal attire, a high-collared dark coat with a decorative button and a white cravat. The background is a simple dark, circular space. An inscription beneath the portrait credits the artist as St. Memin from Philadelphia. Below the portrait is a handwritten name, "Wm James A Bayard."
