The image is a portrait showing the upper body of a man in profile view facing to the right. He appears to have a formal posture with a long straight nose, a prominent forehead, and a strong chin. His light-colored hair is styled in a manner typical of the 18th century, tied at the back with a ribbon. He is dressed in a high-collared coat with closely set buttons and wearing a white cravat around his neck. The background is a simple, dark oval shape. The portrait is bordered by a plain, light background with the signature "Tregent" written below.
