A vertically oriented oil painting in visible brushstrokes depicts Alvan Clark, an older man with light skin tone. He turns slightly to our right, dark eyes looking forward from deep-set sockets. Graying hair recedes from his wrinkled forehead, and his mouth is set in a firm line. He wears a dark coat over a white collar, emerging from a muted, brownish-green background. Light from our left illuminates the textures of his face.
