The image is a portrait of a man shown from the chest up in profile, facing the right side of the frame. He has distinctive facial features with a prominent nose and high cheekbones, and curly, short hair neatly styled. He wears a dark-colored coat over a high-collared white shirt or cravat tied in a bow. There are no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background features a plain, dark oval vignette on a lighter-toned paper, drawing focus to the subject. The name "Theodore Gourdin" is scripted below the portrait.
