The image depicts a man's profile from the shoulders up, facing right. He has a prominent forehead, a straight nose, and a defined jawline. His light-colored hair is short and slightly curled towards the side and back. The man is clothed in formal attire typical of late 18th to early 19th-century fashion, with a high-collared coat, a visible button, and a white cravat. There are no visible accessories. The background has a plain circular design with darker shading around the man. An inscription below the circle reads "Drawn & engr'd by S. Maverick Phila'da," and another note mentions "Jacob Old" on a separate piece of paper.
