This portrait shows a man's side profile of his upper body and head, facing right. The man has distinct facial features with a pronounced nose, lips, and a clean-shaven face. His hair is styled with curls flowing backward and appears light in color. He is wearing a dark coat with large buttons and a white cravat tied at his neck. There are no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background is dark and rounded, contrasting with the man's light skin and hair. The portrait is within a plain rectangular border with inscribed details that read "Drawn & engr'd by St. Memin Baltimore" and the name "Henry Alexander" below the portrait.
