The circular portrait shows the upper portion of a man's body from the shoulders up. The man is in profile, facing right. His features are defined with a straight nose and strong chin. He has short, curly hair styled away from his face. He wears a dark coat and a high-collared white shirt with ruffled detailing. There are no visible accessories. The background is plain and dark within the circle, and textured beige outside. Below the portrait is a strip of paper with the name "W. Gray" written in script.
