The image is a profile portrait of a man. The man is facing left with his head slightly angled forward. His hair is short and wavy, fading into a more textured pattern at the back of his head. His facial features include a pronounced nose and a focused gaze. He is dressed in formal attire, likely a coat with a high, starched collar, and there is a visible decorative element on his shoulder, possibly an epaulet. The background of the image is plain. The drawing is signed and dated with "1816" marked beneath the signature.
