The image shows a portrait of a man from the shoulders up in a side profile view, facing to the right. The man's head is slightly tilted upwards and his expression is neutral. He has smooth, cropped hair that is combed back from his forehead, revealing a receding hairline. His facial features include a prominent nose and an angular jawline. He is dressed in formal attire, featuring a high-collared white shirt, possibly a cravat or tie, and a dark, tailored coat with a visible lapel. The image is a monochromatic drawing or etching, with a circular vignette framing the portrait, leaving the background as a simple gray circle. Below the image, there is a handwritten inscription, "John Hollins."
