The image is a black and white portrait showing a detailed profile view of a man from the chest up. He is depicted in a sitting position, facing left. The man has distinct facial features, including a prominent nose, closed lips, and a strong jawline. His eyes are visible in profile, and his hair is styled neatly back, tied in a small bow or ribbon at the back of his head. He is wearing a formal high-collared coat with a cravat tied at the neck and large buttons on the front. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is a plain shaded circle, emphasizing the man. The portrait's border contains an inscription attributing the artwork to St. Memin and labeling the subject as "Dr. Robert Carter."
