The image depicts a side profile portrait of a person from the chest upwards. The individual faces to the right, showing the left side of their face and neck. They have short, neat, slightly wavy hair and prominent facial features including a nose and chin. The person wears a high-collared shirt and a coat with large lapels and a unique button detail near the shoulder. There are no visible jewelry pieces or objects. The background is textured, contrasting with the subject against a plain, light surface. Below the portrait, the handwritten name "Elias Glenn" suggests the person's identity.
