The image shows a profile portrait drawing of a person from the torso upwards. They have a pronounced Roman nose and their hair is styled back smoothly with a slight wave, tied at the back. The individual wears a high-collared shirt with ruffles and a dark coat with notable buttons on the lapel. There is no visible jewelry. The background is a simple, textured oval with no specific details. Below the portrait, a handwritten caption reads "Clarke."
