The image is a portrait drawing depicting a person's upper body from the shoulders up, shown in profile facing to the right. The person has distinct facial features, including a pronounced nose and a firm jawline. They have medium length hair styled neatly with a slight wave. The person is dressed in a dark-colored coat, a high-collared white shirt, and a ruffled cravat. There is no visible jewelry. The background of the portrait is a plain, dark circular area framing the face and upper torso against a neutral-colored rectangular background. The artist's initials "S.M." are inscribed at the bottom left, and "James Breckendridge" is written beneath the portrait.
