The image depicts an upper body portrait of a person in profile view facing to the right. The individual has medium-length, wavy hair that is neatly combed back and visible sideburns. Their facial features are finely detailed with strong angular lines. They are wearing formal clothing, including a dark robe with textured fabric and a high-collared white cravat. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is a plain circular field in a darker shade, with the name "Dr. R. Means" handwritten below the portrait outside the circular frame.
