The image portrays a man from the chest up in profile. He is facing to the right with his full face visible. The man has light-colored, voluminous, slightly wavy hair, and distinct facial features including a prominent nose and a firm jawline. He is wearing a high-collared shirt under a dark coat, fastened with a visible button on the lapel. The background is a textured, dark circular field, and there is handwriting below the image that reads "B. Coke" and "B. Cocke."
