Waist-up image of a man with powdered white hair, dark coat, and white cravat
A half-length image depicts a man, positioned slightly to the left of the image's center, facing towards the right, his head turned with his gaze directed towards the upper right. He has light skin with rosy cheeks and lips. His hair is powdered white, styled in soft waves that frame his face and fall to his shoulders. His eyes are light blue, and his nose is straight. He wears a dark, possibly black or deep brown, coat with a high collar. The lapels and collar are trimmed with a thin, gold-colored braid. Several round, gold-colored buttons are visible down the front of his coat. Beneath the coat, a ruffled white cravat is tied around his neck, with its folds visible against his chest. The background is a muted, dark brown and blue, with lighter areas appearing behind his head and to the left. Visible brushstrokes give the image a textured appearance. The man's shoulders fill the lower portion of the image, with his arms not visible.
