The image is a portrait of a man in profile facing right. He has delicate features, a smooth complexion, a prominent nose, short wavy hair with sideburns, and is wearing a dark coat with a visible button and a light-colored cravat. The background is a simple dark circle against a light canvas. Below the image, the handwritten name "James Boggs" and a signature indicate the artist as J. Memin from Philadelphia.
