The image is a side profile view of a man's head-and-shoulders portrait. The man faces the right side with his gaze forward. He has distinct facial features including a nose, chin, and closed lips. His hair is styled in waves with volume towards the back. He is dressed in a dark coat with high lapels and a white cravat at his neck. The background is a dark circular vignette framing the subject against a plain light background. The name "Wm Benner" is handwritten below the portrait.
