The image displays a portrait of a man sitting in a frontal position. He has a round face, smooth complexion, slight smile, and relaxed eyes. His hair is styled in waves, possibly powdered or white, tied back in an 18th-century fashion. He wears a high-collared jacket with ornate buttons, a cravat, and a lace shirt visible at the sleeves and collar. His right hand rests on a surface or object, potentially a piece of paper. The background features a rectangular frame around the portrait, which likely is printed on paper. A plaque under the portrait likely contains text about the person depicted.
