A vertically oriented oil painting depicts John Childe, a man with light skin tone, seated and angled slightly left. He looks toward us, his left hand resting over his right wrist. He wears a dark coat over a checkered waistcoat and a white shirt with a high, dark cravat. His brown hair includes prominent sideburns along his jaw. The composition features a split background of neutral brown and deep red, rendered with subtle, layered brushstrokes.
