The image displays a profile view of a man's bust, depicting him from the chest upward. The man faces to the right in a traditional profile style. He has short, light-colored hair and sideburns, with a prominent nose and a slightly pointed chin. He wears a dark high-collared coat with large buttons. The background consists of a lightly shaded circular area centered on the subject within a larger rectangle of lighter color. Hand-drawn text below the portrait denotes the artist and subject's name.
