The image shows a detailed profile portrait of a man. He is in profile, facing left, with an angular face, a pronounced nose, and a strong jawline. He has short, wavy hair styled away from his face. The man is wearing classic attire with a high white collar, a cravat, and a dark coat. The coat is buttoned with bold lapels. The background is dark, contrasting with his light-colored clothing. The portrait is framed with handwritten text at the top which reads "Cabel" and at the bottom identifying the person as "Judge. Wm Henzy."
