The image depicts a historical portrait of a man in profile, facing to the right. He is sitting down with his head turned to the side, displaying his nose, chin, closed lips, and neat, wavy hair with short sideburns. The man wears a high-collared coat over a white shirt with a cravat or tied neckerchief typical of 19th-century fashion. The background is a simple, dark circle and the image has an engraved or illustrative style. Below the portrait is the inscription "Overton Anderson".
