The image features a man viewed from the side, showing his profile from the head down to the chest. The man is facing to the right of the image. He has a strong nose and chin, and grey hair styled back, possibly tied at the nape of the neck. He is dressed in formal 18th-century attire, with a dark coat and a white cravat around his neck. The background is a plain, circular dark space. There are no visible jewelry or objects. At the bottom, the name "John Savage" is written in cursive script on light-colored paper.
