The image shows the upper half of a man's body in profile view, facing left. He is seated in a side-facing position with his arms not visible in the draped clothing. The man has a prominent nose and a balanced jawline, with short, neatly combed hair that recedes at the temples. He wears a high-collared coat with a textured pattern. The background is plain, consisting of fine lines and shading that highlight the figure's profile. Below the man, the engraving includes text identifying him as "Revd. Wm. Gunn Translator of Nennius &c. Delt. Octr. 1821."
