The image is a portrait of a man from the chest up. The man is turned to his left, facing sideways. He has curly hair styled backward with a queue tied at the nape. His expression is neutral with a prominent nose. He is wearing a dark, formal high-collared coat with a button and a white cravat around his neck, suggesting an 18th or early 19th-century style. The background is an oval-shaped grayscale. There is handwriting below the image that reads "Dr. Barton Benjamin Smith."
