The image is a profile portrait of a man illustrated from the chest upwards. He has a prominent nose and rounded chin. His hair is light-colored, short, and curled close to his scalp, with longer hair tied back neatly with a ribbon. He is dressed in formal attire with a high-collared, dark coat over a lighter-colored shirt with a ruffled collar. The background is a plain, dark circle and beneath the portrait is a label with handwritten text reading "Benj. Huger."
