The image shows a portrait of a man displayed in a circular frame. The portrait is from the waist up, with the man positioned in profile, facing to the right. The man's hair is styled with multiple curls and falls to the nape of the neck, secured or tied in the back, revealing his forehead. He wears a high-collared garment, possibly a coat, which appears to be buttoned up and includes a white neck scarf or cravat tucked underneath. The background of the image is a dark, plain oval, contrasting with the lighter overall background of the print, which contains an engraved signature of the artist or engraver near the bottom.
