The image depicts a detailed sketch of a man from the shoulders up, in a profile position facing to the right. The man has distinctive facial features with a prominent nose and chin, and defined outlines. His hair is styled voluminously with waves and curls, especially at the front and above his ears. He is wearing formal attire, including a high-collared shirt and a dark coat with a bold lapel. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background features a circular, lightly shaded area within a rectangular frame, with the handwritten name "W. H. Tilghman" below the circular image.
