This illustration displays the upper body of a man in a profile view facing to the right. The man is depicted from the chest up, with his head turned to the side. He has a prominent nose, a well-defined jawline, and his hair is styled in tight curls with a short ponytail tied at the back. The man is dressed in formal attire including a high-collared shirt and a coat with large buttons. The coat appears to be made of a heavy fabric, depicted with fine shading. The background is a plain, circular gray field. Below the image is a handwritten signature reading "B. Washington. Bushrod" against an off-white background.
