A vertically oriented oil painting depicts John Browne, a man with light skin tone and a powdered white wig, seated turned slightly to our right at a table a small book rests on. He looks at us with a faint smile, wearing a brown coat with white ruffles and an ornate, metallic-trimmed waistcoat. His right hand is tucked into his waistcoat, while he emerges from a dark, shadowy background with a heavy curtain.
