This image shows a bust portrait of a man in profile with the upper half of his body visible. He is positioned facing to the left side of the image. The man has a prominent nose, a slightly pointed chin, and a high forehead. His hair is combed back and tied at the nape of the neck, with wavy locks near the ears. He is wearing a dark-colored coat with a high collar and a white cravat wrapped around his neck. No visible jewelry or objects are present. The background is a plain, dark circular area, framing the subject and isolating him from the outer faint, textured area that matches the tone of aged paper. At the bottom, a handwritten inscription reads "Wm Cabel Nicholas Cabell Jr."
