The image shows a man's profile view, facing right. He has a prominent nose, an angular jawline, and neatly styled, curly hair. He is wearing a high-collared coat with a double-breasted front and a light-colored cravat tied at the neck. The man is set against a textured oval background while the rest of the image is on light paper. The lower part of the image contains handwritten script and the artist's signature, F. Menin, Philad. The environment outside the oval does not suggest any particular setting.
