The image shows a profile bust of a man. The man is facing to the right, with his head turned in that direction. His facial features include a nose, a chin, and slightly pursed lips. He has curly, short hair. The man is wearing a high-collared coat and a cravat or scarf. Part of his hair is gathered at the back, secured with a ribbon. The background is a dark, circular shape against a lighter border that frames the man.
