The image shows an upper-body portrait of a young man in profile seated in a formal pose. He has distinctive features with a pronounced nose and full lips. His hair is styled in a voluminous fashion typical of the late 18th or early 19th century, with curls framing his temple and the rest swept back. He is wearing a dark coat with a high collar, two buttons, and a white cravat. The background has a plain, neutral circular frame. Below the illustration is a handwritten name, "Ch: O' Rouske," on a strip of paper.
