The image is an engraved portrait of a man in profile, facing to the right. He is depicted in a seated or upright position. The man's facial features are shown in fine detail, with a defined nose and chin. He has short, tight curls and wears a high-collared garment with a cravat or neck cloth. The clothing is formal, likely a dark coat with visible buttons. The background is a simple, dark circular shape. The engraving is mounted on a piece of paper with the name "Dr. Thos. Cooper" written at the bottom.
