The image displays a profile portrait of a man's upper body and head. He is seated with his body turned slightly to the side while facing forward. The man's facial features consist of a prominent nose, high forehead, closely set eyes, and styled back, voluminous, wavy hair. He has no visible facial hair. He is dressed formally in a high-collared garment, possibly a coat, and a large cravat or neckcloth around his neck. The background is dark, with the name "Comegys" below the image.
