The image shows a profile portrait of an individual facing left. The person is seated upright in a formal position with short, wavy hair tied back with a ribbon. The individual has a prominent nose, subtle lips, and a composed expression. They wear traditional 18th-century clothing, including a high-collared shirt, cravat, and a dark coat with a visible button near the collar. The background features a simple circular frame with text below identifying the person as "Benjamin Ives Gilman" and the engraver as "S. Minmin Philadel."
