An oil portrait depicts a man from the waist up, framed within a dark oval and turned slightly to our right with his eyes looking at us. He has light skin tone and wears a shoulder-length, curled white wig. He wears an ochre-colored coat with large buttons and a long, white neckcloth hanging down his chest. Light from our left highlights his forehead and cheek against a muted, solid gray background.
