The image depicts a monochrome portrait of a man in profile facing to the right. He has a strong nose and slightly set chin. His hair is styled in a formal fashion, appearing short, wavy, and swept back. He is dressed in a high-collared jacket or coat with round metallic buttons, and he wears a cravat. The background is a dark, plain circle and there is a lighter rectangular area with the name "John Cotton Smith" written in elegant script at the bottom.
