The image is a black and white profile portrait of a man from the shoulders up. The man is facing to the left with his head turned slightly in that direction. His facial features include a prominent nose and a calm expression. He has short, neatly combed hair with a slight wave at the top and around the temple. He is dressed in early 19th-century style clothing, wearing a dark coat with high lapels, button details, and a white cravat around his neck. There is no visible jewelry. The background has a circular dark area and a lighter area with the handwritten name "John W. Eppes" below the circle on the cream-colored paper.
