The image shows the upper body of a person in profile view facing right. The individual is slightly turned to the side with their head held high. They have light-colored hair styled with soft waves, a prominent nose, and a defined chin. The person is dressed in a formal coat with a button and a high-collared white cravat. Below the image is a handwritten label saying "Van Bibber." The background is a plain circular area of a contrasting shade, surrounded by a rectangular frame matching the outer edge of the image.
