This is a profile portrait of a man, showing his upper body from the shoulders up. The man is positioned in a side profile facing to the right, revealing the contours of his facial features and the detailing of his clothing. He has short curly hair, a sharp nose, and a prominent chin. He is wearing a dark coat with a high collar over a white shirt or cravat with visible ruffles at the neckline. There is no visible jewelry or objects. The background is a simple, dark circular area that contrasts with the lighter tones of his clothing and skin. The name "Miles King" is written below the circular portrait frame.
