The image depicts a profile portrait of a man's upper body. He has a prominent nose, defined chin, slightly sunken eyes, short, white, wavy hair brushed back, and wears period attire suggesting the late 18th or early 19th century. The background is a dark circular field with a light-colored backdrop outside the circle. Text at the bottom reads: John Beale Bordelay, 75 years.
