A vertically oriented oil portrait depicts Thomas Abthorpe Cooper, a man with light skin tone, seated and facing us. He has dark, curly hair and a furrowed brow. He wears a black coat over a white high-collared shirt and ruffled cravat. His left hand, fingers curled in layered brushstrokes, rests on a gold-trimmed chair. The figure emerges from a dark, shadowy, reddish-brown background, his right hand visible below.
