The image is a bust-length portrait of a man, positioned facing forward. He has distinct facial features including high cheekbones, a prominent nose, and full lips. His hair is light and styled in a short, rounded manner typical of the late 18th century. He is dressed in formal attire with a high-collared white cravat, a dark waistcoat, and a dark coat. The background consists of a dark shaded oval contrasting against a lighter rectangular area. Below the portrait, there is a formal inscription noting the name "WM. BRADFORD Esq." along with "Late Attorney-general of the United States," along with a signature at the bottom of the page.
