The image is an engraving of Henry Fuseli, shown in profile facing right with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His facial features are distinct with a prominent nose and strong jawline, and his hair appears wavy and pulled back. He is dressed in a high-collared shirt with a cravat and a jacket. Adjacent to him are a painter's palette and brushes, along with leaves. The background is a textured oval frame against a plain background, and below the image, "Henry Fuseli" is inscribed along with the engraver and source details.
