The image is a portrait showing the upper half of the body of a man in profile facing to the right. The man is positioned with his head turned slightly to his right, showcasing the side of his face. He has a prominent nose and well-defined jawline, and his hair is styled in a voluminous manner typical of the late 18th or early 19th century, with a distinctive wave and some curls at the nape of his neck. He is wearing a dark jacket with a high collar and a white cravat or neckerchief elegantly wrapped around his neck. No jewelry or accessories are visible in the portrait. The background of the image is a simple circular dark area that contrasts with the light tone of the man's face and clothing, while the larger area surrounding the circle is plain and unadorned. Below the image, there is a name inscribed in a calligraphic style on a beige strip, reading "George Way."
