The image depicts a man in profile, facing to the right. He has distinctive facial features, curly hair swept back and tied with a ribbon, and wears a high-collared coat with visible buttons and a cravat. The background is a dark circle, contrasting with the man's light hair and clothing. The name "Morton" is inscribed below the portrait.
