The image shows a portrait of a man in profile view, showing his head and part of his torso. He faces to the right, with defined facial features including a pronounced nose and strong chin. His hair is short, tightly curled, and styled with volume at the top. He wears a high-collared shirt and a dark, double-breasted coat with the collar turned up. There are no visible accessories. The background is simple and dark, highlighting the man's profile. The portrait is enclosed within a circular frame, set against an off-white background with the signature "A. Lynn" below it.
