National Gallery of Art

The image shows a profile portrait of a man. He is displayed from the head to the upper shoulders, facing to the right. The man has distinct facial features, including a prominent nose and curly hair. He is wearing a high-collared shirt and a dark jacket typical of 19th-century fashion. The background is dark, and there is a handwritten name "Helyott, Benjamin Elliott" on a beige strip of paper under the portrait with no other visible objects or jewelry.
