The individual has a refined facial structure with a high forehead, defined features, and hair styled in voluminous curls typical of the 18th century. They wear elegant attire, including a fitted coat with ornate buttons, a waistcoat, and a cravat tied at the neck. A floral decoration is pinned to their chest.
