The image shows the upper half of a man's body. He is facing slightly to the right, seated, with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has a prominent forehead, large eyes, and a slightly curved mouth. His hair is styled in curls, similar to an 18th-century wig. He wears a dark coat over a white shirt with a high collar. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain, and the portrait is on light-colored textured paper. Below the image, it reads 'Josiah Wedgwood, F.R.S.' with details about the portrait's origin.
