The image depicts a man in a profile view from the shoulders up. He is facing to the right with the left side of his face visible. He has curly, light-colored hair and a slightly serious expression. He is wearing a formal military uniform with a dark coat featuring decorative buttons, shoulder epaulettes, and intricate braiding detail. The background is plain, and below the image is the handwritten text "Capt John Cassin."
