The image shows a profile portrait of a man with his head and upper torso visible. He is in a sideways view facing right, with neat, wavy hair and a serene expression. The man wears a formal jacket and a cravat. There are no visible accessories. The background is a simple dark circle contrasting with the lighter tones of the man. Outside the circle is a plain light-colored background. The portrait is signed "Drawn & engd. by S. Mimin Phil'a" at the bottom, with "Jonathan Burrall" written below on a separate strip.
