The image is a portrait of a man from the chest up, facing right in a profile position. The man has a refined face with a prominent nose and is wearing his hair styled in the typical 18th-century fashion. He wears a high-collared jacket with buttons and a cravat around his neck. The background of the portrait is a circular, dark tone that contrasts with the lighter tones of the man’s face and clothing. The image is surrounded by a plain beige mat, with the handwritten name "Alexander James Dallas" below the circular portrait.
