The image shows a side profile portrait of a man from the chest up. He has a slightly pointed nose, defined cheekbones, sideburns blending into short wavy hair, and a slightly receding hairline on the forehead. The man wears a high-collared shirt with ruffles underneath a jacket with visible lapels and buttons. The background is a circular shape of darker shading against a lighter surface, with the name "L. Carter" inscribed in cursive below.
