The image shows a man in profile, seated with his right hand resting on a surface, holding an object resembling a book. He has a prominent nose, thin lips, and high cheekbones. His dark hair is styled in a late 18th to early 19th-century fashion, possibly tied with a ribbon. He is wearing a dark, high-collared coat with buttons over a white ruffled shirt with ruffles at the neck and cuffs. The background is dark with text that reads "JAMES JACKSON" and a signature.
