The image depicts a man in a side profile from the shoulders up, enclosed in a circular frame. He is looking toward the right side of the frame, featuring distinctive facial features including a pronounced nose and a firm chin. The man's hair is styled voluminously, appearing to be pulled back and tied with visible detailing at the back. He is attired in a high-collared coat with a cravat around his neck, which is dark with noticeable front buttons. The background is uniformly shaded, offering a neutral backdrop that accentuates the subject's profile. The name "Rt. Peter" is written below the portrait.
