The image shows a profile view of a man depicted from the chest upward. He is positioned facing to the right. His facial features include a prominent nose, a slightly rounded chin, and an overall strong profile. His hair is styled in a typical early 19th-century manner, with short, curly hair combed back from his forehead. He is wearing a high-collared shirt with a cravat or neckerchief, over which is a dark, double-breasted coat with visible large buttons. The coat has a high collar that frames his neck and chin. The background is a simple, circular design with a dark contrast. The name "James Stephenson" is written at the bottom of the image in a cursive script.
